An international hacking syndicate claiming responsibility for a cyberattack that forced a shutdown of Los Angeles Unified School District computer systems has set a Monday deadline for the district to pay a ransom or the organization will publish undisclosed information it claims it obtained in the hack.
“What I can tell you is that the demand -- any demand -- would be absurd,” he told the Times. “But this level of demand was, quite frankly, insulting. And we're not about to enter into negotiations with that type of entity.”
Carvalho said earlier the hackers appeared to have planted a series of digital “tripwires” that could have disabled more systems, so the district was being cautious about bringing computers back online. It was unclear if the receipt of a ransom demand weeks after the initial attack was an indication that the hackers obtained or could potentially obtain more sensitive information. Carvalho said last week officials do not believe any highly sensitive information was accessed.
