Baltimore County Public Schools closed Wednesday after the school system was hit with a ransomware attack. The attack affected some 175 schools, programs, and centers, over 115,000 students, and over 18,000 employees. Local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies are investigating. The school system has had no direct or indirect contact with the hackers. Until the problem is resolved, students will not be able to attend school. The investigation is ongoing but meanwhile schools are closed, with all in-person classes delayed, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.”]
