The experience of being targeted by hackers has been shared by others who have had comparable experiences.
As Sir Dan Moynihan puts it, “It was an absolute nightmare,” He is the head of the Harris Federation, which consists of 55 schools in the Essex and London region.
The Russian ransomware crime outfit REvil hacked it four years ago, Sir Dan told the news.
“Their purpose was to blackmail us into paying $4m (£3m) in cryptocurrency within 10 days,” he stated.
“If we didn’t pay in 10 days, they wanted $8m.”
Chaos resulted from the hack. The school group’s finances suffered as a result of unpaid invoices and workers.
According to Sir Dan, the group lost its lesson plans, instructional resources, and registration procedures.
