South Carolina School District Does the Ransomware Two Step | Digital Guardian

A ransomware attack infected 25 of 64 servers at Dorchester County School District; the district paid $2,900 to decrypt data. Officials initially claimed no identity theft or compromised student/staff information, but later acknowledged that data on one server was corrupted and inaccessible, affecting records for approximately 26,000 students (including 32 students without paper backups) and requiring manual recovery efforts.
