“Authorities are investigating a cyber extortion hacking group’s breach of the San Benito school district’s technology system which led to the theft of as many as 30,000 employees’ and students’ confidential information.“

“On Wednesday, Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz confirmed the Karakurt group is behind the cybersecurity breach believed to have occurred about Nov. 1. “
