This time, the breach hit education software company Pearson, exposing data on at least 100,000 students across more than 13,000 schools and universities.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the November 2018 breach exposed information like students' names, dates of birth, and email addresses. The company was notified of the leak in March by the FBI.
One Nevada school district told the WSJthat around 114,000 students that attended its schools between 2001 and 2016 were affected just in that district alone.

The attack affected Pearson's AIMSweb 1.0 system, which was already scheduled to be phased out in a decision unrelated to the breach.
