The attack was claimed by the AlphaV group, who posted a listing on their dark web leak site. It does not indicate how much data they claim to have exfiltrated but notes that it includes personal information. As alleged proof of that, they include a few screencaps: a passport, a birth certificate, and student and parent details for one student.
