SPOKANE Public Schools took several systems offline on Monday after reporting an overnight “network security incident”. In an email to families, the district said the incident was under investigation and that the precautionary shutdown could disrupt services, including families’ requests for information from teachers or other staff.
The available report does not identify the cause of the incident, say whether data was accessed or stolen, or confirm any ransomware or other cyberattack. Spokane Public Schools said it would continue providing updates as its investigation progressed.
