The Lufkin Independent School District says computer technicians are on site after a weekend attempted cyber-attack on their computer system.
According to a statement from the district on Tuesday, it was a ransomware attack that occurred over the weekend, resulting in several of their systems to be down.
Fortunately, Lufkin ISD says their “…cybersecurity program appears to have worked…”, but they noted “…we have to make sure the data is not compromised.”
The district said Tuesday that computer engineers from Dell were at the schools and working on the computer system.
