A ransomware attack is disrupting some operations at California’s largest public school system just weeks after the start of the new academic year.
The Los Angeles Unified School District says it “detected unusual activity” over the weekend that was later identified as ransomware likely motivated by criminal gain. Fundamental school system functions – including instruction and transportation, food and after-school programs – are unaffected. The district serves more than 600,000 students, making it the second-largest in the United States.
