Fox4Beaumont reports:
The Beaumont ISD phone system is now back online with a new vendor following a nationwide ransomware attack on January 23 that impacted the district’s entire phone system, according to information Jackie Simien, BISD’s Director of Community and Media Relations, provided to KFDM/Fox4 News.
The district has since changed phone vendors.
The district says there’s absolutely no indication any district data was compromised, and the attack was not on any district-owned devices.

When asked who the vendor was, the district told other news outlets that they were unable to name the vendor “for legal reasons.”
