US school district cyber attack victims fear account thefts

Officials believe the victims' stolen information lies within the hackers' website.

Last week, Rodriguez, a former district assistant principal, received a letter warning her confidential information was stolen in the cybersecurity breach discovered around Nov 1.

"Oh my God, I hope my husband's information is out there," she said."You're looking at people's retirement. It's concerning to us. That's personal information that should be kept private. This is a disaster. Everybody's scared - especially people retired and getting benefits.

"Has anyone gotten someone else's letter from the data security incident that happened at SBCISD?" John M. Escobar posted."I know of several people, including us, that their letter ended up somewhere else! This is not good! Someone is messing up bad! This should be of great concern to all of us! We need to bring it up to the administration.""I got one with someone else's name but my address is in San Marcos!" she posted.

"If you suspect you may have erroneously received a letter or perhaps received one intended for another individual, we respectfully request that you mark the letter as 'wrong address' and return the letter to the return address," Superintendent Theresa Servellon stated.A district investigation found the cyberattack occurred before Nov 1, Servellon stated Friday on the district's website.

From Nov 4 to Dec 16, the district conducted an investigation which found"an unauthorised party gained access to the district's network and took certain files from the district's servers prior to Nov 1," she stated.Then, officials began trying to identify employees and students whose personal information was stolen.
