What Happened at Raptor?
On January 11, 2024, Wired reported on a data breach involving an unsecured database at Raptor Technologies. Raptor has confirmed the data security incident and if they confirm that the leaked data contains confidential information of individuals, it will begin sending out data breach notification letters to all individuals whose information was affected.
According to third-party research, over 4 million records relating to the Texas-based Raptor Technologies were allegedly compromised by a data security incident. The records contain what appears to be sensitive information relating to students, teachers, parents, and school safety plans or procedures. An investigation is ongoing and it is currently unknown how long the database was exposed or who accessed the data.
