Axios is not sharing the video so as not to further spread personal info.The hackers, going by Medusa, posted the 51-minute video showing them opening files that include a letter to a student's parent about their child's suspension and transfer to another school.
It also shows employee tax forms, HSA withdrawals, contracts with vendors and resumes of job applicants.What they're saying: MPS said in a letter to families and staff that it has reported the video to law enforcement and is working with IT specialists to review the data exposed in order to contact those whose info was shown.of Emsisoft told Axios it's the first time he's ever seen such a tactic used by hackers.
"If I was a parent/student/teacher/service provider, I'd work on the assumption that whatever info the district held about me was now in the hands of cybercriminals," he said. Cybersecurity experts have recommended watching bank accounts for unusual transactions and being on alert for phishing attempts.The FBI recommends organizations against paying ransoms because it doesn’t guarantee the hackers will actually delete the data.
