Tucson Unified School District has released a statement regarding the ransomware attack from January 30 which affected their network.
TUCSON, Ariz. —
The district has been working closely with the Arizona Risk Retention Trust, their insurance carrier, and Packet Watch, a leading expert in cyberattack restoration and investigative efforts. They have also hired a group from ARETE Cyber Risk Management to review data that may have been hacked. The district confirms that a large amount of sensitive and confidential employee data has been accessed and taken, as noted in their March 31 letter to employees. However, the cyber-security forensic experts are still working to confirm the accuracy of any personal and confidential information that has been shared or published online.
As a result, the district has not yet made any further statements about the validity of any district information that may have been posted on the dark web.
