RPS data breach: Former students at risk after dark web leak

Former Richmond Public Schools students could be caught up in last month's cybersecurity attack, after the district confirmed personal information was posted on the dark web. Why it matters: Once exposed, sensitive data can be shared or sold to criminals, putting victims at risk of identity theft and fraud . RPS didn't immediately respond to Axios' questions about how many people were affected, how far back the compromised records date, or whether hackers demanded a ransom. The latest: RPS is expanding free identity monitoring to former students and employees after hackers claimed to have accessed their personal information, too — and not just that of current students, staff and contractors.

It disrupted internet access, classroom instruction and college application. Meanwhile: The FBI, Virginia State Police and federal cybersecurity officials are assisting with the investigation as RPS rebuilds its network, restores data from backups and works on new
