Livingston School District in New Jersey, US, was hit on November 21, 2019 by ransomware. This caused students to start their week 2 hours later, while the school’s administrators and staff were discussing how to handle the cyber attack.
The Livingston School District believes the breached data wasn’t further stolen or sold by attackers, but rather just locked. The district has 9 schools and about 6,000 students.
The amount and type of ransom requested, and whether it was paid, wasn’t disclosed.
As of this writing, most of the school district systems have been restored.
