More than a million people, including students, school staff, and parents, have been affected following a data breach at Mathspace, according to the learning provider. The company said, in a blog post, “unauthorised parties had accessed an internal reporting system used by Mathspace” and the exposed information included names and email addresses. It said the attackers accessed the system between August 10 and August 27 during a period when a security patch had not been installed. Mathspace said “attackers exploited a security vulnerability” in its self-hosted installation of software. “We’re truly sorry this happened and are taking steps to prevent similar breaches in the future,” the company said. “Protecting the information entrusted to us by students, families and schools is our responsibility.”
