Portland Public Schools
February 3, 2026
•[ phishing, email compromise, unauthorized access ]
A phishing email offering a fake part-time job opportunity was sent to students after a staff email account (reported as a teacher account) was compromised. Because the message originated from an internal staff account, it bypassed normal restrictions and reached many student inboxes across the district. The district technology department removed copies of the email from the school system and issued guidance for students who submitted information to the linked form. The confirmed effect is unauthorized use of an internal account to distribute phishing content; the report does not confirm broader system compromise or data exfiltration beyond what students may have submitted to the scam.
