my money better be there

MEDIA ADVISORY: LOSFA System Outage
October 2, 2025 • Featured

The Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA), a program of the Louisiana Board of Regents, is experiencing an incident that disrupted the operations of our information technology (“IT”) systems.

IT staff continues to analyze the incident, and we are working with the Louisiana State Police, OTS, and GOHSEP. Based on our current analysis, we have confirmed that the incident is contained.

While we continue the investigation, we have notified all institutions regarding potential delayed student START account or state scholarship payments. We have asked institutions to extend payment deadlines to minimize any disruptions to education.

Our ongoing analysis continues to determine what, if any, information was involved in the incident. We will provide further updates as appropriate.

Too bad bad actors can’t wipe out the IRS and student loan databases.

Hearing student SSNs and other private info. may have been compromised. Maybe they should spend less money on DEI and more on protecting private information.

If you're alive today in the USA and your shite hasn't already been compromised by the government, your bank, your email provider, your doctor, pharmacist, CPA, phone company, internet provider, drug dealer, pimp, or preacher......you're probably a unicorn.

My SSN has been in multiple data breaches. In fact, I’d bet everyone here has had their SSN hacked at least once.

And free Credick Protection service for a year from a company that ironically also experiences a data breach that compromises your security….

The outage could lead to delayed scholarship or savings account payments, according to the statement, which said the Louisiana State Police and other agencies are investigating the cause.

“While we continue the investigation, we have notified all institutions regarding potential delayed student START account or state scholarship payments,” the statement said. “We have asked institutions to extend payment deadlines to minimize any disruptions to education.”

The statement raised several unanswered questions, including whether the disruption was due to a cyberattack and whether students’ and families’ personal data was compromised. Agency staffers are analyzing the outage “to determine what, if any, information was involved in the incident," the statement said.

A Board of Regents spokesperson said he could not answer follow-up questions.

I was just trying to figure out how many breaches my "personal information" has been involved in over the years.
What I can remember:
AT&T (2x)
Bank
Blue Cross/Blue Shield
Google
The Federal government

I'm sure there have been more.

Equifax also leaked everyone with a credit report's info a few years back. Names, SSNs, credit reports, account numbers, etc.
