Frontline Education, a leading provider of administration software purpose-built for K-12, today announced that it has begun sending notification letters to individuals whose data was impacted in the August 2026 cybersecurity incident involving Frontline Central and School Health Management. The incident has been fully remediated. Frontline launched a webpage to provide additional information about the security incident.

What happened:

On August 14, 2026, our security team identified a vulnerability in a third-party software product we use that allowed unauthorized access to a portion of the environment beginning August 14, 2026. We promptly investigated the issue with the assistance of an independent cybersecurity firm, remediated the vulnerability, engaged with law enforcement, and took steps to further reinforce the security of our systems. The last day of unauthorized activity was August 15. We remain committed to protecting the security of our customers' data and continuously strengthening our security practices.

What Personal Information was involved:

Frontline has been conducting a thorough and time-intensive analysis of the impacted files to determine what personal information they contained and to whom that information belongs. Although the information for each individual varies, we have determined that the following data elements were impacted: Social Security number, dates of birth, driver's license number, passport number, other government ID, Medicaid ID, Student ID.

What we are doing:

Frontline has notified affected school districts and, in cooperation with those districts, is notifying individuals whose personal information was affected via email or by letter sent via the U.S. Postal Service, as required and where available. The company is offering adults in the U.S. two years of credit monitoring and cyber monitoring for minors at no cost through TransUnion. The notices provide the nature of the information involved and contact details for the dedicated TransUnion call center established to assist with enrollment for eligible individuals and to address any inquiries related to the incident. Individual notifications were issued starting on or about October 26, 2026.

In addition to the comprehensive security measures the company had in place prior to the incident, it has taken steps to further safeguard its systems, including enhancing its security and monitoring controls. The company will continue to advance its IT security and data privacy controls to stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape.

What you can do:

In addition to enrolling in the credit monitoring services being offered to eligible individuals whose data was impacted at no charge, the company encourages affected individuals to take additional precautions:

  • Remain vigilant against threats of identity theft or fraud and regularly review and monitor account statements and credit histories for any signs of unauthorized transactions or activity.
  • Individuals who suspect they are the victim of identity theft or fraud should contact their local police.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT IDENTITY PROTECTION

INFORMATION ON OBTAINING A FREE CREDIT REPORT

U.S. customers are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit reports, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free +1 (877) 322-8228.

INFORMATION ON IMPLEMENTING A FRAUD ALERT OR A SECURITY FREEZE

You can contact the three major credit bureaus at the addresses below to place a fraud alert on your credit report. A fraud alert indicates to anyone requesting your credit file that you suspect you are a possible victim of fraud. A fraud alert does not affect your ability to get a loan or credit. Instead, it alerts a business that your personal information might have been compromised and requires that business to verify your identity before issuing you credit. Although this may cause some short delay if you are the one applying for the credit, it might protect against someone else obtaining credit in your name.

A security freeze prohibits a credit reporting agency from releasing any information from a consumer’s credit report without written authorization. However, please be aware that placing a security freeze on your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prevent the timely approval of any requests you make for new loans, credit, mortgages, employment, housing, or other services. A credit reporting agency may not charge you to place, temporarily lift, or permanently remove a security freeze.

To place a fraud alert or a security freeze on your credit report, you must contact the three credit bureaus below:

Equifax

Experian

TransUnion

Consumer Fraud Division

Credit Fraud Center

TransUnion LLC

P.O. Box 740256

P.O. Box 9554

P.O. Box 2000

  1. Your full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.);
  2. Social Security number;
  3. Date of birth;
  4. If you have moved in the past five (5) years, the addresses where you have lived over those prior five (5) years;
