Hacker claims to have Davenport schools data, threatens release

“It appears possible that a recent cyber attack on the Davenport School District resulted in the theft of a large collection of student and other district data.“

“A data-extortion group is claiming to have stolen information from the Davenport district and is threatening to publicly release it, writing in a recent online post, "In this release we will show you 845 GB of their data, which include a giant, massive array of student's (sic) personal information ..." The post by "Karakurt" indicates a deadline of Oct. 31 for the district to meet its demands, though the post does not reveal the terms of a possible ransom demand.“

“The district's email system this week has been experiencing disruptions, suggesting internal communications about the possible threat could not reach staff.“
