Another Texas school district with a data breach?

“LockBit has added White Settlement Independent School District in Texas to their leak site, with a proof pack that suggests that the threat actors were able to access — and may have exfiltrated — a lot of files. “

“White Settlement ISD was recently informed by Homeland Security that the district experienced a possible cyberattack. District officials immediately began security intrusion prevention. Upon further investigation and security scans, WSISD determined that Skyward/Gradebook and Canvas were not compromised. The district discovered that the only compromised documents belonged to some staff members and were housed in a shared folder. “

“Prior to this incident, WSISD had taken numerous cybersecurity measures to protect student and staff data. In the event that the district finds that your information was compromised, district officials will contact you. We will continue to work closely with several agencies to ensure that there are no future vulnerabilities.“
