The Clark County School District in Nevada is dealing with a potentially massive data breach, as hackers email parents their children's' data that was allegedly stolen during a recent cyberattack.
"On approximately October 5, 2023, Clark County School District became aware of a cybersecurity incident impacting its email environment," reads a statement from the Clark County School District.
According to a report from KSNV News 3 Las Vegas, these emails include PDF files that contain students' stolen data, including student photos, addresses, student ID numbers, and email addresses,.
According to a detailed report by DataBreaches.net, the hackers behind the Clark County School District breach call themselves 'SingularityMD' and have already begun to leak what they claim is the data for 200,000 CCSD students.
DataBreaches.net examined some of the leaked data and said it looks legitimate, but CCSD has not responded to their emails to verify if the data belongs to them.
At this time, the threat actors claim to still have access to CCSD's systems and have more data that they will leak if the school district does not pay an extortion demand.
