Data Breach
The Los Angeles Unified School District had a data breach exposing 248,000 files on the dark web including SSNs, contracts, invoices, passports, and more.
The district is refusing to pay the ransom set by the attacker but one CTO was quoted as saying: "In the case of LAUSD, I applaud the department’s moral and ethical stance, but it’s important to note that this decision will still incur costs in the form of data leakage and cleanup, making it difficult to determine it as ‘the best approach."
