Digital Smarts - Private Student Information Published by Hacker

Private information of students in the Clark County, Nev., school district was released after the district did not pay a ransomware demand. Ransomware is a form of malware where hackers demand ransom for access to data that, in this case, a school district holds. It can have a devastating impact on businesses and individuals alike. The information included students' Social Security numbers and grades. Brett Callow, a threat analyst for cybersecurity company Emsisoft, says multiple school districts have fallen victim to similar schemes. Does your district have a plan for handling a ransomware attack?
