The LA School District Ransomware Attack
America’s second largest school district got pillaged by ransomware hackers earlier this year, and, boy, was it a bummer. Yes, the Los Angeles Unified School District got hacked in September by a group calling itself Vice Society. The attack paralyzed certain IT systems and made a real mess of things for district schools. The hackers demanded a ransom, which the school district refused to pay. The hackers later released 500 gigabytes of the district’s data in response.
