On September 5, Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) announced that it had been the victim of a ransomware attack. The group behind the attack, Vice Society, threatened to leak the stolen data. The school district opted not to pay the ransom, and LAUSD superintendent Alberto Carvalho confirmed that the data was leaked in a statement on Twitter. As of October 3, the school district believes the impact of the released data is relatively limited, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.
