The Pinal County School Office Data Processing Service Consortium was the victim of a ransomware attack.
A worker for the Casa Grande Union High School District claims that the first time a potential "glitch" in the system that would affect direct deposit paychecks was disclosed to staff employees was.
Cybercriminals have discovered that targeting schools provides them with a one-stop shop, according to former FBI Special Agent John Iannarelli, who spoke to ABC15.
They possess a wealth of data that they can resell on the dark web. Additionally, they possess money—taxpayer funds—that they can employ for theft.
