Manhasset school district says hackers tried to extort funds

“• “Sensitive information including Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers from the Manhasset school district was published to the dark web by hackers who attempted to extort funds from the district, officials said in a letter to residents on Monday.” • “District officials said that hackers, who caused a network shutdown in September, attempted to get the district to pay a ransom to not post the information. The district, officials said, did not pay the undisclosed ransom amount since they were able to restore the computer system from backup files.” • “Acting Superintendent Gaurav Passi said during an Oct. 7 Board of Education meeting that ransomware was discovered in the district’s system. District officials warned those affected to monitor their finances and credit reports.” “
