Data Breach Might Impact 500,000 San Diego Unified School District Students, Former Students, and Some Staff

Posted on December 21, 2018 by Dissent

Steven Luke and R. Stickney report:

San Diego Unified School District officials are informing parents and former students of a large data breach. Personal data including Social Security numbers from as many as 500,000 students was compromised or possibly stolen, officials say.


The breach dating back to January 2018 was uncovered in October by district IT employees who were investigating phishing emails.
