Greene County Tech School District services back up following hack

“The Greene County Tech School District now has its technology-related services up and running following a cyberattack, our content partner Region 8 News reported. The School district was hit with a hack on Nov. 11, making it difficult to use any electronics. Superintendent Scott Gerrish said the incident sent everyone into a bit of a frenzy. Officials were working to break habits that teachers and students had gotten used to.“

““You know for the last 20 years we have been trying to teach teachers how to teach without technology and so last Friday and this week we had to reverse that process,” Gerrish said. Without technology, the office needed to find ways to communicate, as Gerrish explained they had no form of the internet whatsoever. “No internet, no phone, anything that was connected to the HVAC network controls went down,” he said. Teachers moved from PowerPoints to whiteboards and from laptops to notebooks, with Gerrish noting it’s their job as educators to put education first.“

““We use technology at every turn in education and although you think about, ‘What would I do without the internet,’ you never have to deal with it,” he said. “The shock set in very quickly that we need to move and make sure we need to continue the learning process and that is our focus.” As of Sunday, Nov. 27, services to the school district have been restored, and officials said they would not be paying the ransom to the hackers behind the attack.“
