Why This Breach Matters
Educational institutions store extensive data on students, staff, and families — including Social Security numbers, financial aid records, and in many cases information about minors. The harm may not surface for years, and young people can be especially vulnerable since their credit histories are often unchecked for a long time.
Illinois residents are protected by 815 ILCS 530/10, which gives you the right to pursue legal remedies when a company fails to adequately protect your data.
