This won't be the end of this controversy, but a California court did not dismiss claims against Bain Capital over the PowerSchool data breach. In considering the timeline and the private equity firm's actions before and after its acquisition of PowerSchool in 2024, the court noted, in part:
"Post-closing, Bain directed PowerSchool to offshore cybersecurity, engineering, and IT functions to contractors, including offshoring required data-management tools that enabled vendors to bypass consent protocols and access protected school district computers directly.
Bain failed to assess data-breach risks from the offshoring it directed.
Post-closing, Bain directed layoffs of at least 5% of PowerSchool’s workforce, including critical domestic IT staff."

The #PowerSchool breach, explained: what happened, what data was exposed, and what Ontario and Alberta regulators found. Under Canadian #privacy laws, there's no outsourcing accountability. And if you don't need it, don't collect it or retain it. New on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/l4ytObPKx2A

This feels like the companies that blame users for having bad passwords in a breach. Maybe technically true in a way, but come on... Under staffed under resourced schools aren't responsible for a vendor's failing. The vendor is. #PowerSchool https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/20/powerschool_breach_reports/
