5 Jun 2026 Illuminate Education Inc.FTC: final order against education software provider Illuminate after data leak affecting 10.1 million students USAData breaches and data security Order

According to the complaint by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Illuminate promised schools data security but did not adequately protect its cloud databases, even though a service provider had pointed out vulnerabilities almost two years earlier; a hacker accessed data on 10.1 million students, including health information. The order requires an information security programme, data minimisation and a public deletion schedule, and prohibits misrepresentations about security and notification deadlines.

What organisations can take from it

Do not leave known vulnerabilities unaddressed for years – security promises to customers are measured as binding commitments.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
