YLE News reports:

Otkes said investigators have already collected more than 90 percent of the data involved in the exceptionally large-scale breach.

The City first announced news of the breach in the spring. Later it said the stolen files included data on up to 150,000 schoolkids and their guardians, as well as information on all of the City’s 38,000 staff members.

On Friday, the head of Otkes’ investigation team, Hanna Tiirinki, said the breach is currently estimated to involve data of around 300,000 people.
