NYC Public School Students and Staff Data Exposed in Cyberattack

TL;DR Summary
A cyberattack on New York City Public Schools has exposed sensitive data on around 45,000 students, Department of Education staff, and service providers. The stolen data includes student evaluations, social security numbers, and birthdates. The DOE says it will notify affected people this summer and offer them access to identity monitoring services. No ransom demands have been received, and none of the stolen data has been published. The cyberattackers targeted a vulnerability in software called 'Move It' that is used to share documents.
