Credit monitoring services for people impacted by the PowerSchool cybersecurity breach are now available.

Last week, the province revealed that some 271,000 Students and 14,000 teachers had their data compromised in the attack.

Government says high school students that have been in the system since 1995, and teachers who have been in the system since 2010 are eligible the free service.

As well, a company known as Experian, acting on behalf of PowerSchool, will be sending out direct email notifications to students or their parents, and teachers who are affected by the breach.

Those emails will include further information about the information of theirs involved and the resources available.

More information about how to activate credit monitoring can be found online.
