Understand Why Schools Are a Hot Target
Whether we’re talking about primary, secondary or post-secondary education, public or private, one thing is absolutely certain. The data gathered by educational institutions is fresh and up to date. Every year, students are made to update contact information and, for private schools, colleges and universities, their payment/banking information. This makes schools attractive targets for identity thieves and other cybercriminals.

Protect Staff and Administration from Doxxing and Other Dangers
The culture wars in America today have turned school administrators, teachers, librarians and Boards of Education into targets.

With Privacy Bee, educational institutions can remove Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from people search sites, data brokers and list service companies as part of a broader initiative focused on information security and good data hygiene.

“Local school officials across the United States are being inundated with threats of violence and other hostile messages from anonymous harassers nationwide, fueled by anger over culture-war issues. Reuters found 220 examples of such intimidation in a sampling of districts.”
-Reuters (2022)
“Local and state officials told us that the loss of learning following a cyberattack ranged from 3 days to 3 weeks, and recovery time could take anywhere from 2 to 9 months. The financial impacts on schools can be broad. Officials reported monetary losses to school districts ranging from $50,000 to $1 million due to expenses caused by a cyber incident. These costs included, for example, replacement of computer hardware and enhancing cybersecurity to prevent future attacks.”
