Hackers demanded Richmond Community Schools to pay $10,000 in Bitcoin
Richmond Community School's IT department noticed the hack had occurred on December 27, 2019.
They immediately shut down the server but the hackers had encrypted the server or rather locked out the school district from accessing their server.
The hack affected the school district's telephones, copiers, classroom technology, and even their heating system.
