Jackson-Madison County School System Breach

Students of Jackson-Madison County school system are at risk of having their information used inappropriately due to a computer disk stolen from the East Intermediate principal’s vehicle. This disk was known to hold information of over 200 students, listing their Social Security numbers and test scores.

The county has enlisted the help of National ID Recovery to place fraud alerts on the affected students’ credit reports. This is a precaution the principal has decided to take to be sure the students’ credit scores and personal information are not at risk. Letters were mailed to parents notifying them of the theft, and all efforts to maintain credit scores will be taken. Credit report monitoring of their credit reports will last one year after the incident.
