Country: GBR | United Kingdom
Victim: Le Fylde Coast Academy Trust | The Fylde Coast Academy Trust | fcat.org.uk
Additional Information :
- The Fylde Coast Academy Trust, which manages 10 schools in north-west England, was targeted in a ransomware cyberattack.
- The attack infected their computer network and demanded a ransom for the restoration of their systems.
- As a result, schools had to revert to manual operations, using paper registers and teaching from books while waiting for system restoration.
- Service restoration is expected to occur next week, but it will take several weeks to ensure the complete removal of the ransomware.
