Ransomware attack cancels classes at Haverhill Public Schools


Classes were canceled Thursday at Haverhill Public Schools because of a ransomware attack on the district’s computer system. Some students were expected to return to class on Friday, but middle and high school students will continue to learn remotely. The district’s superintendent says their IT department managed to shut down the network “before large-scale corruption of the system occurred,” but it will still take time to get email, phones, and Google Meet up and running.During a school committee meeting Thursday night, Superintendent Margaret Marotta explained the tedious process of checking every computer district-wide. “They really have to go through every instrument in the school district and clean it and make sure it’s safe to return to the system one at a time,” Marotta said. By phone, the mayor says it appears backup systems and city computers were not impacted. “That’s the key to any of these things,” James Fiorentini, the mayor of Haverhill said. “If you catch it before it infects the backups, you can restore and you’re OK.”The ransom amount is still unclear, as is the group behind the attack.The Haverhill mayor said that the city of Lawrence was also hit, but city officials did not reply to WCVB’s inquiries. The district is hopeful that cloud-based systems will be returned to working order by Friday morning, but there will be no Wi-Fi in the buildings.”We got an email and a call regarding that there was a virus going on with the computer, there was no internet,” said parent Tamika Velasquez. “I tried to email my teacher but it didn’t work,” said Javius DeLeon, a fourth-grade studentDespite bright sun and temperatures in the 60s, Thursday was considered a snow day, and it will be made up at the end of the school year.Thursday was supposed to be the first day back to school for grades two, three and four.Haverhill police said the department is working with school officials to determine the origin of the hack.

The Park Hill School District has canceled classes for Tuesday because of a malware attack that took down the district’s critical systems.Classes were also canceled Monday.”Our technology team, with the support of experts, has made good progress on getting our systems back up and running after the malware attack. However, as is common after such an attack, it is taking some time to get everything operating. Some programs are intermittently coming online, and we must be sure they are stable,” the school district said in an email Monday evening to parents.The district said its Adventure Club school-age childcare program will be available for families who are already signed up. Administrators, district office staff, executive administrative assistants, custodians, maintenance and grounds workers will report to work. Supervisors will coordinate with all other staff on who will come in and when.Early Monday, school district officials posted to the district’s Facebook page around 6:50 a.m. saying, “We experienced an attack on our computer systems, known as a malware attack. Our technology team working through the entire night, but we have just learned that we do not have the needed systems in place to have school.”District officials apologized for the late notice of the closure. In many cases, students were already on the bus on their way to school before the cancellation was announced.Park Hill represents the latest in K-12 education related cyber security incidents across the country.The K-12 Cyber Security Resource Center has counted 1,180 publicly disclosed incidents since 2016.Cyber security experts, such as Tiffany Franklin with Overland Park-based security solutions company Optiv, said that school districts and businesses must always remain on guard.”The threat landscape changes so quickly,” Franklin said. “It’s hard for technology to stay in front of those threats.”Franklin, a former school teacher, said she did not know the exact details of the Park Hill cyber attack.
