U.S. edtech giant PowerSchool confirmed the breach of its customer support portal in early January .

The California -based company provides K-12 software to more than 18,000 schools to support some 60 million students across North America .

TechCrunch sent PowerSchool a list of outstanding questions about the breach.

PowerSchool hasn't said how much it paid the hacker responsible for the breach.

The company has taken “appropriate steps” to prevent the stolen data from being published.

PowerSchool is working with incident response firm CrowdStrike to investigate the attack.

CrowdStrike released an interim report in January , which TechCrunch has seen, but contained no new details.
