Posted on January 20, 2025 by Dissent

Meredith Bond reports:

Student information for those who attended Toronto District School Board as far back as 1985 may have been compromised by a cyber incident that happened in December 2024.

On Jan. 8, the TDSB sent a letter to parents explaining the incident involving the PowerSchool software, which is used by many boards across North America. The data breach happened between Dec. 22-28, 2024.

The Peel and York Region public boards were also among those impacted.

“Our cybersecurity team promptly activated our response plan, taking immediate steps to ensure that our critical systems remain operational,” the TDSB’s Interim Director of Education, Stacey Zucker, wrote in the letter.
