TLDR:
– The Ohio School Boards Association was targeted in a cyber attack, disrupting their operations
– The hack was discovered when members were unable to send emails or access the website
The Ohio School Boards Association is dealing with a cyber attack that disrupted their operations. The hack was discovered when members found they couldn’t send or receive emails or access the association’s website. CEO Kathy McFarland stated that there is no indication that hackers obtained any information, but the attack has disrupted operations for the organization, which serves more than 700 school boards and 3,500 board members across Ohio. The association immediately severed internet connections and brought in outside IT experts to investigate. The association is working to resume operations quickly and has reassured members that sensitive personal data is typically not stored and there is no reason to believe any data has been compromised.
