PowerSchool, which has has more than 18,000 customers worldwide and serves over 60 million students, suffered a breach on December 28th that may have exposed personal data like names, addresses, Social Security numbers, medical information, and grades. In an update published on its website, PowerSchool says it has started notifying individuals in the US, Canada, and abroad affected by the security incident, including educators, current and former students, and parents and guardians as applicable. PowerSchool says it will offer affected students and educators complimentary identity theft protection services and two years of credit monitoring for adults.

PowerSchool added it’s also starting to notify Canadian regulators and will send a separate update to international customers later in the week.
