El Paso Independent School DIstrict (EPISD)

Hackers accessed the EPISD server and were able to collect the personal information of students, teachers and other employees.  There were names, Social Security numbers, and addresses from approximately 63,000 students and 9,000 teachers on the district's internal network (myepisd.org). EPISD was not aware of the breach until a computer security company noticed hackers bragging about breaking into EPISD's system.  Names, ethnicity codes, and student ID numbers for 26 students were posted by hackers named Sy5t3mF41lur3 & t3hblackhatter of H05t_Bu5t0rz.UPDATE (09/07/2012): A hacker accused of carrying out the attack is scheduled to plead guilty to two counts of computer fraud and one count of fraud linked to identification documents.
