The City of Helsinki is investigating a data breach in its education division, which it discovered in late April 2024, impacting tens of thousands of students, guardians, and personnel.
"Considering the number of users in the city's services now and in previous years, in the worst case, this data breach affects over 80,000 students and their guardians."
"The breach also affects all of our personnel, as the perpetrator gained access to all personnel usernames and email addresses."
