“In April, the Royal ransomware gang added Lake Dallas Independent School District in Texas to its leak site. Quoting the district’s description of itself, the attackers commented: Lake Dallas Independent School District has a vibrant, growing student population, an excellent array of programs, a strong curriculum, and a progressive, innovative atmosphere. Seems like everything is on the best level but its not. Gygabytes of students’ and their staff personal information is not a thing to worry about. A few hundreds of SSNs and array of passport information will be available here on Monday. This is the result of being non-progressive in cybersecurity. “
“But no data was provided as any proof of claims, and by May 4, no data had been leaked. “
“The district provided notification to the Texas Attorney General’s Office that 21,982 Texas residents had been affected by a breach and that individuals were being notified by U.S. mail. The types of information involved included: Name of individual; Address;Social Security Number Information; Driver’s License number; Government-issued ID number (e.g. passport, state ID card); Financial Information (e.g. account number, credit or debit card number); Medical Information; Health Insurance Information“
