Online Maths Learning Platform Mathspace Disclosed Data Breach Impacts 1 Million Users
Brief
Online maths learning platform Mathspace has confirmed a data breach that exposed the personal information of more than one million students, parents, guardians, and school staff across Australia and New Zealand, after attackers exploited a critical flaw in its internal reporting software.
The Sydney-based edtech company, which is widely used in classrooms across both countries, said on 3 September 2026 that unauthorized parties had accessed an internal reporting system and downloaded records belonging to students, their families, teachers, and Mathspace’s own employees.
In total, 1,079,819 people were affected, making it one of the largest education-sector breaches reported in the region this year.
