Public School Data Breach Endangers LGBTQ+ Students

A listener from Minneapolis calls in to discuss a massive data breach from the public schools there. Ransomware gangs have targeted schools, stealing and exposing confidential documents online, including sensitive cases of student sexual assaults, psychiatric hospitalizations, abuse, truancy, and suicide attempts. Schools, often strapped for resources, are ill-equipped to defend against such attacks, leaving them struggling to respond effectively and transparently. The lack of a federal law requiring notification of data breaches in schools exacerbates the issue, with victims often unaware until alerted by external sources. The trauma resulting from the online exposure of private records, coupled with slow admissions and notification processes, has emerged as a lasting legacy of school ransomware attacks, highlighting the need for better cybersecurity measures and support for educational institutions.
