TUCSON, Ariz. — “School will go on," says Margaret Chaney, President of Tucson Education Association."It went on well before the Internet, and it will go on well after the internet.”“I think its important to note that hackers are focusing on the easiest target," explained Gary Brickhouse of CISO, Guidepoint Security.
“If you look back at the past year, there were over 45 school districts hit with ransomware," continued Brickhouse. “Unfortunately this is the age of hacking. We are not the first district to be hacked," also continued Chaney. “We also saw a recent school hack that happened in the LA school district, those students lost health information," Brickhouse stated.“It really is about educating employees on how to identify and avoid things like phishing emails," Bickhouse said.
