“Some Corry Area School District servers were rendered useless after the school district's network was attacked by ransomware over the weekend. All schools in the district were operating on a two-hour delay for students today to give teachers additional time to plan lessons without the use of technology as the ongoing fallout from the attack continues to impact internal operations of the district.“
“"The first thing we did was made sure the attack was mitigated," CASD Technology Director Andrew Schmidt told The Corry Journal this morning. "We made sure that personal information, student information and faculty information was not accessed as that is not housed here. It is housed off site with third-party vendors, so we assured that was safe."“
“The attacker did not communicate how much was being sought from the school district, which did not pay anything in response to the ransomware, according to Schmidt. "No, we didn't even engage with the actors," he said. "We did not communicate with them." When asked how this happened, Schmidt responded, "We're still investigating."“
