N.L. privacy commissioner investigating government response to school cyberattack
The province's information and privacy commissioner is investigating a security breach that saw hackers steal the private information of nearly 300,000 current and former students and teachers in Newfoundland and Labrador. In a news release sent Friday afternoon, Privacy Commissioner Kerry Hatfield said part of that investigation will look at whether the Education Department has taken enough action in the wake of the PowerSchool attack to make sure it doesn't happen again. "Before launching this investigation I felt it was appropriate to give the department sufficient time to assess the impact of the breach, notify those who were impacted, and take steps to adjust its policies and practices," she said in the release. "It has now had ample opportunity to do so." The late-December cyberattack struck PowerSchool, the data management software used by the English, French and Indigenous school systems — along with other school districts across North America. According to the Education Department, on Dec. 28 hackers stole the information of approximately 271,000 students and 14,400 teachers across Newfoundland and Labrador's English, French, and Indigenous school systems. The stolen data includes contact information, date of birth, MCP numbers, medical alert information, custodial alert information, some social insurance numbers and other related information. Some of that data dates back to 1995. The department said about 75 per cent of the stolen student data belongs to people who are no longer in the K-12 system. The company offered two years of free identity and credit monitoring to any of the victims, and has since hired Experian and TransUnion to provide those services. "The purpose of my investigation is not only to assess whether the department has responded adequately to the breach, but also to ensure that measures taken by the department to prevent future occurrences of this nature are sufficient," said Hatfield. "People have a right to expect that when a public body collects their sensitive personal information that it will do so in accordance with the law."

How will Pittsburgh accommodate the 2026 NFL Draft?
PITTSBURGH (WBOY) — With the 2025 NFL Draft behind us and last week's announcement that the 2027 draft will be in Washington, D.C., eyes are now turned to the 2026 host city: Pittsburgh. But how will the Steel City accommodate an event that seems to grow bigger every year? In the NFL's announcement that Pittsburgh would be the host city in 2026, the league explained that the draft plans to incorporate parts of Acrisure Stadium and Point State Park, two of the most open spaces in the central area of the city. Exact details on how the NFL plans to utilize the two locations have yet to be revealed to the public, but Emily Hatfield, Vice President, Marketing & Communications for VisitPITTSBURGH told 12 News that the North Shore will serve as the focal point for the event. Hatfield added that the host committee is evaluating the best practices from previous host cities and that the NFL is largely interested in incorporating Point State Park and 'other key neighborhoods' with supporting events. The 2025 draft in Green Bay featured several of these events, including an autograph stage, lawn games and an area to view trophies and rings won by the Green Bay Packers. Steelers to unveil new throwback uniform, helmet this season Hatfield said that the draft is expected to attract up to 700,000 fans from across the world over the course of the three-day event. She added that previous host cities have reported economic impacts ranging from $120-213 million, and the host committee expects Pittsburgh to fall 'well within that range.' As the event grows closer, physical elements for the draft have already begun to appear, including the official countdown clock which was installed on the North Shore earlier this week in collaboration with two Pittsburgh-based companies: Actual Size and Carpenter Connection. While this might be the first time that Pittsburgh has hosted the draft since the league moved it out of New York City in 2015, this isn't the first time in history. In 1936, Pittsburgh became the first-ever city to host the NFL Draft when the league debuted the event. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
