Extortion trackers recorded two US education-sector victims inside this window, neither accompanied by a victim statement or regulator notification. Westbridge Institute of Technology was listed by the group emperador with a claim of "full employee information, full students information, full guardians information" totalling roughly 102 MB; Odyssey Charter School, a Florida non-profit operating tuition-free public charter schools from preschool through year 12, was listed by Wallstreet. Neither institution has published a breach notification visible from open sources, and neither listing carries a data sample that would allow the dataset's structure to be assessed, so both remain allegations rather than established incidents. The claim shape is what makes them worth tracking: student and guardian records are the highest-consequence category in this sector, and a volume in the low hundreds of megabytes is consistent with an export of records rather than a full platform compromise β€” but nothing available establishes either reading. Education bodies do not notify under the same regime as healthcare, which is why tracker entries here routinely precede any public record.
