The group claiming responsibility for the cyberattack had set a Monday deadline for the district to pay a ransom to the organization.
In a dark web post detected and reprinted by Brett Callow of the cybersecurity firm Emsisoft, the hacking syndicate Vice Society listed theas one of "our partners," and stated, "The papers will be published by London time on October 4, 2022 at 12:00 a.m."
"We can acknowledge ... that there has been communication from this actor and we have been responsive without engaging in any type of negotiations," he told reporters. "With that said, we can acknowledge at this point ... that a financial demand has been made by this entity. We have not responded to that demand."Carvalho told The Times on Friday the district will not pay the ransom demand or negotiate with the hackers.
Carvalho said earlier the hackers appeared to have planted a series of digital "tripwires" that could have disabled more systems, so the district was being cautious about bringing computers back online. "This entity did touch our MiSiS System, which contains student information," Carvalho said. "To the best of our knowledge at this point ... we believe that some of the data that was accessed may have some students' names, may have some degree of attendance data, but more than likely lacks personally identifiable information or very sensitive health information or Social Security number information.
