Thousands of public school workers impacted by cyberattack on retirement plan administrator | The Record from Recorded Future News

Dozens of public schools across the country reported data breaches to regulators in Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and several other states this week, warning that sensitive data was stolen through Carruth Compliance Consulting — a company that provides third-party administrative services to public school districts and non-profit organizations for their 403(b) and 457(b) retirement savings plans. Most of the data breach notices are identical, and a Recorded Future News analysis of Maine’s breach site found 11 public schools and colleges impacted across Pennsylvania, Oregon, California, Illinois and New York.
