Help, please:

If anyone has a copy of the ransom note sent to PowerSchool in December 2024 or PowerSchool clients in May 2025, please email me a copy or upload it to me on Signal. I want to see not only the body, but the full header and signature.

PowerSchool has not been transparent about the extortion aspects of the incident and has not responded to inquiries.

To reach me on Signal, my number is +1 516-776-7756. Email: breaches@databreaches[.]net
