Hackers steal personal data of millions of California students in massive breach

A single stolen username and password was enough to open a testing contractor's system and copy student records. The Seattle Times reports that the breach at the Educational Testing Service covered California students back to 2006 and included names, addresses and disability records, though not Social Security numbers or passwords. The company spotted the intrusion on September 25, after access that began in May.
