A US school district has warned 50,000 students and employees that their data may have been exposed following a ransomware attack.
Broward County School District, in the state of Florida, admitted that personal information could have been accessed by malicious hackers during a cyber-attack between November 2020 and March 2021.
The district had previously kept details of the incident under wraps, and also insisted that no data had been affected.
Earlier this week (November 29), however, the institution confirmed that the unauthorized access “may have potentially included the sensitive information of some faculty, staff, and students”.
