On March 25, Illuminate notified the DOE that its investigation was complete, and that some students' personally identifiable information was accessed by someone without dominance.

    We are outraged virtually this breach, and we will do everything possible to protect educatee data going frontwards and to provide further data to families afflicted by this breach.

    We are waiting for Illuminate to provide us with more details from their investigation, including which student records were accessed past the unauthorized user. Illuminate has shared the following information with us:

    ·Names and ID numbers (OSIS) were accessed for all students impacted past the breach.

    ·Date of nativity was accessed for nearly all students impacted by the alienation.

    ·The types of data that were accessed for students are:

    If your student'due south records were accessed every bit part of Illuminate's break in security, you will receive a letter in the coming weeks with more information about what personally identifiable information was accessed, what steps Illuminate is taking to correct the state of affairs, and how to enroll in credit monitoring services, paid for past Illuminate.

We deeply regret that your students' confidential information may have been impacted. The DOE remains committed to making sure vendors use strong protections to go on student data safe.
