PowerSchool, the cloud platform provider providing services to school boards across Canada & the US has confirmed that even though a ransom has been paid to the cybercriminals holding the data ransom & received assurances that the data was destroyed, the criminals have returned demanding for more money as they have not actually destroyed the data.

This unfortunately highlights the biggest risk when it comes to paying ransom for data destruction, threat actors can always come back demanding for more once they realize exactly how valuable the data is.

When I read about students, parents, and teachers having their PII stolen in the PowerSchool data breach, I'm reminded of the letter my high-school employer had to send me disclosing that my tax information was stolen... Form a pallet of documents. As in, crooks broke into a warehouse and made off with the federally-mandated-auditable records from two decades ago.

Your data is not secure. It's not secure because it's not securable.
