NewsBank Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Data

Blacon High School, located in Cheshire, United Kingdom, has been forced to temporarily close due to a ransomware attack. The school announced that it would remain closed for Monday and Tuesday while a cyber-security company investigates the incident. The attack, which took place on Friday, prompted the school to take immediate action to ensure the safety of its systems and data.

Head teacher Rachel Hudson provided an update stating that the closure might be extended beyond the initial two days

She emphasized that the school is working with an independent cyber-security firm to fully understand the scope of the breach. Once the investigation is complete, the school will decide on the next steps and keep parents informed of any further closures.

In the meantime, Blacon High School is taking steps to ensure students can continue their education while the school remains closed. Staff devices are being thoroughly cleansed, and teachers will be re-planning lessons once they are able to access their systems again. Students will be expected to complete work via Google Classroom during the closure.

For those who rely on school lunches, the school has arranged for a pick-up service at the reception. Between 11:00 and 13:00 GMT on January 20 and 21, students can collect lunch from the school. The school remains committed to ensuring the safety of its systems before resuming normal operations.
