ClassWallet

Missouri State Treasurer Vivek Malek's office faced criticism after student voucher data was exposed on its website for nearly a year. The office initially blamed software provider ClassWallet for the leak, which included names, parent emails, and scholarship details, but emails suggest the data may have passed through an employee's computer before publication. ClassWallet, a major edtech contractor for voucher programs, disputed the blame.
