The Toronto District School Board, [...], said in January that the addresses, health card numbers, emergency contacts and some medical information of more than 1.49 million students may have been stolen.

presumably this links the names of children to their addresses

PowerSchool was aware as of Dec 28

The federal watchdog knew about it on Jan 20

I learned about it 47 days after PowerSchool knew about it; I hope the parents were notified sooner than this.

Private organizations subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act are required to alert the privacy commissioner of any breach involving personal information that could harm the affected individuals. They must also inform the affected individuals.
