Norman Public Schools tells media, families it will strive to communicate better

Posted on September 1, 2023 by Dissent

Well, it seems one school district has seen the light and will try to be more transparent and timely in the event of security incidents.  Norman Public Schools in Oklahoma experienced a ransomware attack in November 2022. At the time,  DataBreaches was revealing more details about the breach by the Hive ransomware gang and the leaked data than the district had revealed and noted the district had not responded to this site’s inquiries.

At a board meeting this week, the district indicated it would strive to be more timely and transparent in dealing with the community and media. The Norman Transcript reported on the meeting and statements made to them:
