KY: Personal data of Boone, Kenton County students breached, school officials say

Posted on December 24, 2024 by Dissent

Danielle Goodman reports:

Personal data from current and former students in Boone and Kenton County school districts may have been accessed and copied in cyber attacks earlier this month, according to school district announcements.

School district officials said the data breaches appear to have stemmed from phishing schemes, where cybercriminals trick users into providing sensitive information, such as passwords, to gain unauthorized access to accounts.

In Boone County, approximately 200 student records were compromised, the district reported. Kenton County School District officials said that information for 38 students was accessed and viewed.
