Plainedge Public Schools was targeted by ALPHV threat actors (also known as BlackCat) in June 2022.
ALPHV posted a few screencaps, including a list of employee contact info with names, home and mobile phone numbers, work and personal email addresses, and location and other documents from the district as proof of access.
They also dumped more than 30 GB of files, including a cybersecurity analysis and report prepared for the district after no contact from the school was made.
Apparently, the breach also compromised 99 employees’ names, phone numbers, emails and ID numbers.
