Response
The district detected suspicious activity around July 10, engaged cybersecurity specialists, and determined on October 13 that personal information was in the affected data. [2]
Its November 3 letter offered 12 months of credit monitoring and described continuing security improvements. [2]
The California registry lists July 2 as the breach date, whereas the letter gives an approximate July 4–10 access window; the reviewed records do not resolve that difference. [1][2]
