PowerSchool Data Breach:
Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org have filed a proposed class action lawsuit over the PowerSchool data breach.
To help strengthen the case, they need to hear from residents of California, Massachusetts, New York and Michigan who received notice that their Social Security numbers were impacted in the incident.
PowerSchool Security Incident: What Happened?
On December 28, 2024, education technology company PowerSchool, whose cloud-based software is used by thousands of school districts nationwide, became aware of a data breach involving unauthorized exfiltration of personal information from certain PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS) environments.
According to a notice posted on its website, PowerSchool indicated that a threat actor gained access to the data through PowerSource, a customer support portal, using a compromised credential.
PowerSchool stated that information belonging to current and former students and educators may have been accessed in the breach. Though the affected data varied by individual, it may have included names, contact information, dates of birth, medical alert information, Social Security numbers and “other related information.”
Affected educators and students (or their parents/guardians) were notified of the PowerSchool data breach in early 2025.
What You Can Do After the PowerSchool Data Breach
If your Social Security number was exposed in the PowerSchool data breach (and you live in California, Massachusetts, New York or Michigan), attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to help strengthen a class action lawsuit aiming to recover compensation on behalf of data breach victims for loss of privacy, lost time, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force PowerSchool to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
