New details of negotiation between attackers and Broward County Public Schools emerge after a ransomware attack early last month. Attackers stole personal information from students and teachers, disrupted the district s networks, and caused some services to be unavailable. The district does not plan to pay a ransom, it said in a statement. The ransom demand still shows that this particular threat actor group is woefully underinformed, one security expert said. The amount demanded from the school district is extremely high, even for the Conti Gang.
