At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Great Hearts America data breach. This breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident, which may have affected an unknown number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal information.
A recent report from the Attorney General of Massachusetts states that the Great Hearts America was compromised due to a cyber security attack that was discovered on October 14, 2023, after the company learned that its vendor, Veeya, detected unusual activity within its IT network. Veeya launched an investigation that confirmed that confidential information provided to Veeya by Great Hearts was subject to unauthorized access. Data breach letters were sent out by Great Hearts America on March 29, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
Based out of Phoenix, Arizona, Great Hearts America is an education company that operates public charter schools in Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. The company also operates an online charter school.
