Thousands of San Diego area students and teachers may be on Christmas break, but that didn't stop the school district from announcing a major data hack Friday.

San Diego Unified School District, the second largest school district in California, said more than 500,000 students and staff had their personal information accessed through a data breach. Through a phishing attack, an unauthorized user accessed data from as far back as the 2008-2009 school year. The hack also affected 50 district employees.

The district said it learned about the data breach in October, but they had to hold off on alerting people because, "it was necessary for our investigation to not immediately tip off those responsible that we were aware of their activities."
