Cleveland City Schools reports ransomware attempt on devices

CLEVELAND, Tennessee (WDEF) – Officials with the Cleveland City Schools say they are working on a ransomware case involving system devices.

They became aware of the attack on Tuesday.

In a statement, officials say less than 5 percent of their school devices were actually affected and none of them are student devices.

And they do not believe any personal information has been compromised.

“We want to assure you that sensitive information, including PowerSchool data, is secure off-site.”

The school system is continuing to check to see if any data has been removed from the system, but, so far, they have not found any missing data.
