Pearson has confirmed recently suffering a cyberattack
The company claims hackers obtained “legacy data”
No threat actors claimed responsibility yet
Education services giant Pearson has confirmed suffering a cyberattack and losing customer data, but has played down the importance of the breach, suggesting the stolen data was outdated anyway.
BleepingComputer was tipped off that someone used an exposed GitLab Personal Access token to compromise Pearson’s development environment in January 2025.
