Louisiana School District Notifies Data Breach Victims After News Investigation – The 74

Individuals affected by a July 2023 cyberattack on the St. Landry Parish School Board were not informed until five months later. The notification only occurred after a newspaper investigation prompted the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office to warn school officials of their obligations. The school board likely violated a state data breach notification law by failing to alert victims for months. It’s unclear how many victims were informed of the breach, claimed by the Medusa cybercrime syndicate.
