Toronto school board confirms students’ info stolen as LockBit claims breach

The Toronto District School Board disclosed that student information stored in a separate testing environment was involved in a ransomware incident; LockBit claimed responsibility and posted a leak and ransom demand while the board and external experts are investigating and coordinating with law enforcement. The exposed fields reportedly include student name, school, grade, school email, student number and date of birth, and the board says the risk is low though the exact scope of exfiltration is unclear.
