New Jersey Public Charter Schools Association

A New Jersey public school district was targeted in a cyber attack incident that affacts its computer system.

Administrators said hackers took over the network, and experts said this is a growing problem.

Hackers broke into the network, infecting it with ransomware and taking data hostage from all nine schools in the district, affecting 6,000 students.

The data is not stolen or lost, just locked and inaccessible. School authorities reported the crime to local police and have tasked tech professionals with fixing the issue.
