Hello, fellow tech enthusiasts! We may only be two months into 2025, but it’s already proving to be a memorable year for data breaches, affecting the personal information of countless individuals.

The year started off with alarming incidents, including the breach at PowerSchool, which is likely to impact tens of millions of students and teachers. Reports suggest this breach might have compromised more than 62 million student records.

In a twist, U.S. federal data fell into the wrong hands as a consequence of unauthorized access during the early days of the current administration, leading to massive concerns about national security.

Adding to the mix, Community Health Center reported that over a million patient records were compromised, exposing sensitive personal and health information.

In a less conventional scenario, stalkerware apps like Cocospy, Spyic, and Spyzie left millions exposed to privacy violations, making the situation even more dire for unsuspecting users.

Lastly, DISA, a provider of employee screening services, confirmed a significant breach affecting over 3 million individuals, highlighting the vulnerabilities that can occur even in compliance-focused companies.
