Ransomware gang demanded $40 million in ransom or it would erase files and post personal information online. Broward County Public Schools said in a statement Thursday that there is no indication that any personal information has been stolen. The district did, after two weeks of back and forth, offer to pay $500,000, at which point the gang apparently ended negotiations. The FBI usually investigates such attacks, but said Thursday it would not confirm if it was investigating this one. An epidemic of ransomware attacks has been plaguing government agencies, businesses and individuals for the past three years.”]
