WI: Black River Falls School District closed Friday after cyberattack

Posted on April 10, 2022 by Dissent

WKBT reports:

The Black River Falls School District canceled all classes Friday because of an incident involving unauthorized access to the district’s IT network.

Superintendent Shelly Severson sent an email to parents Thursday night saying that student record system is unavailable, and the district has no access to attendance, medication records, family contact information, or court orders.

Police, security and forensics experts are investigating, and all network devices are unavailable because of the investigation, Severson wrote.

Parents and Students: If you are having tech issues with your school issued devices please reach out to our tech department using this email [redacted]  They will be able to help you resolve your issue.
