An investigation into over 300 cyberattacks on K-12 schools since the pandemic reveals a troubling pattern of obfuscation by district leaders. Many officials downplay the risks and delay informing affected students and parents about the exposure of sensitive information. The response to cyber incidents is heavily influenced by insurance companies and lawyers focused on minimizing litigation risk, often at the expense of public awareness. As a result, communities remain uninformed about the true impact of breaches on student safety and privacy.
Schools across the U.S. have increasingly faced cyberattacks since the pandemic began, yet many district leaders employ tactics to obscure the truth from affected students and families.
Several instances highlight that school officials mislead communities about the safety of sensitive information even after cyberattacks expose critical student data.
