Ill. schools data stolen

The personal information of more than half a million Chicago Public Schools students and staff was compromised in a December ransomware attack, but the vendor didn’t report it to the district until last month, officials said.

The data breach occurred Dec. 1; vendor Battelle for Kids notified CPS April 26, the district said Friday. Four years’ worth of records were accessed, CPS said.

CPS said there is no evidence the data has been misused, posted or distributed, but offered affected families a year of credit monitoring and identity theft protection.
