They then stole sensitive information on millions of people
The data will not be made public, and was stolen “for fun”, hacker says
Publishing and media giant Scholastic has allegedly suffered a cyberattack in which it lost sensitive information on millions of people.
A hacker going by the alias “Parasocial” claims to have stolen the data through an employee portal, including people’s names, email addresses, phone numbers, and postal addresses, for US customers and “education contacts”. This latter group makes up roughly a million, out of a total eight million entries.
