Little Rock School District reports potential data breach

“The Little Rock School District (LRSD) recently detected unauthorized activity on its network. Upon discovery, we immediately activated our incident response protocols and hired independent computer forensic experts to help us determine the nature and scope of the activity. We have also taken steps to notify law enforcement and will cooperate with any subsequent investigations into this incident.“

“The forensic analysis is still ongoing; however, the analysis has determined that some data may have been taken from our network. At this time, we do not know exactly what data may be at issue, but we are working as quickly as possible to be able to ascertain that information. Should we find any evidence student or employee data was impacted, we will notify all appropriate parties.“

“LRSD has implemented additional monitoring and threat detection software to supplement the security measures already in place and has taken steps to further secure its network. We are committed to completing a detailed review of our internal systems and will take everything we learned from the incident to strengthen our network for the future.“

Little Rock School Board authorizes settlement on cyber attack; agreement to cost district at least $250,000

“Wright told the board at the 40-minute special meeting — during which a previously unannounced Nov. 21 private meeting of the board was disclosed — that a possible agreement with the attackers was reached earlier Monday.“

“The terms of that agreement will cost the capital city school system more than a quarter of a million dollars, according to information read aloud by board member Leigh Ann Wilson. Wilson made the motion to pursue the settlement process, noting the $250,000 cost to the district, plus "fees," before she was told by a fellow board member that she was not supposed to announce dollar amounts. “

“"We are doing our very best to try to protect the data that was taken from us," Wright said. "I want people to understand that we are not the enemy . The enemy is the folks who attacked our system." “
