Educational Testing Service (ETS)

Force in Play

Paused some testing while it assesses system security; offering two years of free identity protection

An attacker used a stolen login to copy California student files from an Educational Testing Service server for nearly four months, from May 22 to September 18; ETS did not detect the activity until September 25. The files hold names, addresses, birth dates, and disability status for about 7 million students from the past three school years, and some former students' records go back to 2006.
