\nPersonal information for more than 37,000 current and former Jefferson County Public Schools workers may have been compromised in a major data breach.<\/p>\n
\nPersonal information for more than 37,000 current and former Jefferson County Public Schools workers may have been compromised in a major data breach.<\/p>\n
The exposed records include Social Security numbers, email and home addresses, according to a Jeffersn County Public Schools letter.<\/p>\n
The breach hit Frontline Education, a third-party software platform Jefferson County Public Schools relies on to track job applicants, manage absences, and schedule substitute teachers.<\/p>\n
District leaders stressed that Jefferson County Public Schools’ internal computer network was never compromised.<\/p>\n
According to district officials, Frontline first uncovered the security flaw in mid-August and notified Jefferson County Public Schools nearly two months later, on October 13.<\/p>\n
Frontline said it fixed the security flaw with help from an outside cybersecurity firm, alerted federal authorities, and has found no signs of identity theft or data misuse so far.<\/p>\n
Jefferson County Public Schools has alerted state authorities, including the Kentucky State Police and Attorney General\u2019s Office, as its own investigation continues.<\/p>\n
Frontline began mailing and emailing notices to affected workers late last month, offering two years of free credit monitoring through TransUnion.<\/p>\n
Anyone with questions about the breach or enrollment can call Frontline at 1-800-759-7279.
