Episode Details
Welcome to the #CyberChats Summer 2025 Series!
This special crossover episode of #CyberChats and Cyber Pulse brings together hosts Kennedy (Taylor) Tibbetts and James Walsh for an in-depth look at one of the most significant education-related cyberattacks in recent history: the breach of PowerSchool.
What happens when a cyberattack hits the heart of our education system? In this episode of #CyberChats, we dive deep into the nationwide hack of PowerSchool, a breach that impacted more than 60 million students and 10 million educators across the U.S. We explore how the attack happened, what kind of sensitive data was exposed, and why schools are increasingly becoming prime targets for cybercriminals.
This isn’t just a tech issue — it’s a critical conversation for anyone involved in education today.
