On January 27, 2025, LMSD we received updated information from PowerSchool about their Cybersecurity incident. We have also confirmed that no LMSD staff social security numbers were accessed. The information from PowerSchool is below:
Identity Protection and Credit Monitoring Services: PowerSchool has engaged Experian a trusted credit reporting agency, to offer complimentary identity protection and credit monitoring services to all students and educators whose information from your PowerSchool SIS was involved. This offer is being provided regardless of whether an individual’s Social Security number was exfiltrated.
· Identity Protection: PowerSchool will be offering two years of complimentary identity protection services for all students and educators whose information was involved.
· Credit Monitoring: PowerSchool will also be offering two years of complimentary credit monitoring services for all adult students and educators whose information was involved.
Notifications: Starting in the next few weeks, PowerSchool will be handling notifications to involved individuals and relevant state attorney general offices.
· Community: PowerSchool will coordinate with Experian to provide notice to students (or their parents / guardians if the student is under 18) and educators, as applicable, whose information was involved, as well as a call center to answer questions from the community. The notice will include the identity protection and credit monitoring services offer (as applicable).
LMSD will continue to update our community and we urge you to be on the lookout for communications directly from PowerSchool and the credit monitoring service Experian.
