by The provincial Education Department says personal information of some staff and current and former students in the Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centre for Education was stolen as part of a global PowerSchool cybersecurity breach.
PowerSchool is a widely-used information system used to track enrolment, attendance and grades.
It doesn’t include financial data such as credit card information.
The Province says it’s working with the vendor to determine the extent of the breach.
It says there’s no indication the PowerSchool system in any other centre for education has been affected.
