“Schools in Lenoir County, along with other districts across the state and around the world, have been impacted by a data breach affecting PowerSchool, a student information system used by schools“
“The breach occurred on Dec. 19, 2024, when the credentials of a PowerSchool contract employee were compromised, allowing unauthorized access to student and teacher data.“
“The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) has confirmed that data from Lenoir County Public Schools was accessed during the breach. The data may include personally identifiable information, limited medical details, and grade information. While PowerSchool states the compromised data has been destroyed, cybersecurity experts caution there is no way to guarantee this.“
