This article discusses a recent ransomware attack on the Minneapolis Public School system, and the ongoing effects on this attack. It discusses the start of the attack, which began earlier this year, and how after the school system refused to pay, the hackers released sensitive information online. The article then quotes several cybersecurity leaders and draws lessons from this attack. One such lesson is that education and healthcare institutions are easy targets for hackers since they lack the budget and staff to prevent these attacks. Another is that schools keep more data than they should, and regulation on the amount of data schools keep is needed.
