Cyberattack Befalls South Carolina Department of Education

“The South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) is working to “understand the full scope” of a cybersecurity breach impacting school districts across the nation, according to a release from the agency. “

“On Tuesday (January 7, 2025), SCDE was notified of an “incident” involving its PowerSource portal. The landing page serves as a “support portal” for products provided by PowerSchool — a conglomerate responsible for millions of student information systems nationwide. “

“Per SCDE, PowerSchool’s breach included the compromisation of “sensitive information.” While specifics were not divulged, a subsequent press release from Richland School District One (R1) noted the potential jeopardization of social security numbers for “some users.” “
