Missouri school district’s employee data dumped by ransomware group

“• “Over the past weekend, threat actors known as Vice Society dumped data from Carthage R-9 district in Carthage, Missouri.” • “We are experiencing a network outage affecting information technology systems and phone systems, and are working to restore access. On December 14, 2021, our IT staff noticed suspicious activity on the network and immediately implemented our incident response protocols, disconnected network access, and took systems offline to protect our network.” • “We are treating this matter with the highest priority. As part of our response process, we engaged many consultants, including independent forensic specialists, who are working to help us investigate the suspicious activity and resolve the outage. We are committed to completing a detailed analysis of our internal systems and will take all appropriate action in response to its findings.” • “When contacted about the incident, a spokesperson for Vice Society informed DataBreaches.net that the attack occurred in the middle of December and the district had not made them a good offer to delete the files. Because they were busy in December, the spokesperson wrote, they did not spend a lot of time looking for good files from the district.” “
