Massive data breach could impact many who attended or worked for public schools in Colorado

Posted on August 4, 2023 by Dissent

Tony Keith reports:

A news release issued by the Colorado Department of Higher Education is notifying the public of a “data incident.”

KKTV 11 News is working to learn more about the situation, but the release reads as follows:

The Colorado Department of Higher Education (“CDHE”) is providing notice of a cybersecurity incident that may involve the personal information of certain individuals. CDHE is providing information about the measures it has taken in response to the incident, and steps impacted individuals may take to protect themselves against possible misuse of information.

… While the review is ongoing, those that attended a public institution of higher education in Colorado between 2007-2020, attended a Colorado public high school between 2004-2020, individuals with a Colorado K-12 public school educator license between 2010-2014, participated in the Dependent Tuition Assistance Program from 2009-2013, participated in Colorado Department of Education’s Adult Education Initiatives programs between 2013-2017, or obtained a GED between 2007-2011 may be impacted by this incident.
