The Vice Society Ransomware gang published data and documents Sunday morning that were stolen from the Los Angeles Unified School District during a cyberattack last month.
LAUSD superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho confirmed the release of stolen data in a statement posted to Twitter, along with announcing a new hotline launching tomorrow morning at 855-926-1129 for concerned parents and students to ask questions about the data leak.
“Unfortunately, as expected, data was recently released by a criminal organization. In partnership with law enforcement, our experts are analyzing the full extent of this data release,” tweeted Carvalho.
The public release of data comes after the school system announced Friday that they would not be giving in to the ransom demands and that the district could better use the money for students and their education.
