DeVos did publicly single out FCPS, possibly putting a target on our kids' backs.

Potentially? But apparently this group has targeted numerous schools and even some businesses. It’s been working for them so far, so maybe they just want money.

Too close to election time. I smell a rat.

What if we had spent billions on cybersecurity instead of a wall?

You can also look at outage maps and see Verizon outages up and down the east coast. Maze and the outage aren’t related. They want money, which is why they are h threatening to release personal data. I don’t think messing with BBCU for a few helps their bottom line.

+1...People are confounding two unrelated events.

Unless the hackers tapped into the system that helps image thousands of laptops handed out to kids across the county. Could help create quite the botnet to launch a DDoS attack.

Nothing is really anonymous to the people that matter. Surely you know that.

Brabrand’s deflecting because that’s what he does.

Where are our BB servers? Because there were Verizon connectivity issues earlier even if not in the immediate area.

Awesome system architecture - wasn’t the point of moving to blackboard’s cloud to avoid bottlenecks and server issues?

So- we gave up a of info- love how fcps pushes this info when they are not available. NOT

This really happened. The article came out Thursday. The real question is when did the ransomware hit and when did the school find out? That determines how much data was leaked. I feel so bad for the teachers, students and parents right now.

So if it is not a lack of resources then it must be mismanagement by the answerable federal leaders: Wolf, Ratcliffe, Esper, etc.

Please conjugate.

Is it FCPS servers that were attacked? Or BBC? If FCPS only, know the info being taken is bad, but means kids can still go and use all the school programs right because those are other companies, right? So not like those cannot or should not be used?
