- After the Los Angeles Unified School District refused to pay a cyberattack ransom, a criminal hacking group has released district data onto the dark web. Details: abc7.com/lausd...
This happen in a few states and they always say no important info is involved... Then you get a letter in the mail saying otherwise. Smh. How inadequate.
They say the same thing when Amazon account and credit card information is stolen, then a year later millions of people have identity theft.
@Karl with a K They truly don't care...they all have security with hired guns that you and I pay for.
@Karl with a K Clearly have never dealt with Ransomware before. Pay the ransom and what? Ransomers say haha fk you we gonna release the info anyway!
this dude really said “we don’t believe they accessed sensitive student information”. ya right, they probably got their full names, home addresses, and social security numbers of every student on the dark web now
Students = debt ... yikes
I have checked, downloaded some of the stuff and so far found none of that, except someone's passport
Guess a bunch of parents are getting mortgages, personal loans, & credit card approvals for their kids in the mail
😂
💀💀
smart parents will know to freeze their credit
If only they would report on how many kids in the LAUSD graduate without knowing how to read...
The "hackers" probably got their info from social engineering, like 90% of them. Some moron acted in an unsecure way and gave them access. This day and age, I wouldn't rule out it being on purpose.
@Lil Queerdoe exactly 💯
kind of thats what we cough they want you to think
Republicans out to destroy California.
This is what our countries become United States of AMERICA we're NOT UNITED at ALL
90%, you're being too nice, more like 99%+.
Somebody is lying. Mostly student info. A bunch of kids huh. Nah some of those adults has some dirt on them and the kids probably aren't safe
He really tried to pass it off as mere "attendance data"... Please. The dark web is not interested in tardiness lol.
The Beaudry building where the servers are located is hardly secure and ANYONE could easily get on the main WiFi and hack away. I worked for LAUSD some years ago in the IT department and I saw security breeches then. I attempted to raise the alarm but the people there were more interested in showing sycophantic devotion to the director Soheil. Good luck jerks!
@@coachscott4589 LAUSD is only good at ONE thing: burning taxpayer money. The entire organization is a bloated bureaucracy full of administrators and @$$-kissers. The IT department had no clue as to how to build a network and maintain it, let alone secure it.
And the people responsible for securing all this "required" info who dont protect it properly never are punished with failing their jobs. Hackers would have been smarter to tell the school district we will change everyone's grades to F's so you lose all your state and Federal funding. Thats what they care about. Not student or parent information.
You can do everything right and still get attacked. These are sophisticated rings all over the world sometimes government backed.
School funding in California is largely determined by attendance rates, not grades. Failing all students would effectively do nothing to funding.
@@ericeandco In 2015 the Chinese government broke into the U.S. government and stole the SSNs of all federal workers. I’m of the belief at this point all your relevant data is sitting somewhere on a black hat server and all you can really do is ensure you monitor your credit report, credit card transactions and guard your email passwords with your life. At some point you’ll get hit, even if it is something simpler like me whose debit card got swiped at a gas skimmer and $1,000 drained from my account.
@@ericeandco not the point. These school districts require all sorts of info being stored and complied. There is no reason why that has to be stored on a networked computer.
If they are going to require that information to be stored, they need to be legally responsible for it. When I worked in a hospital I was personally responsible for ANY HIPAA information that was released to inappropraite sources. Each occurrence I would be subjected to a $15000 dollar penalty.
Why shouldnt they? Because they are a part of the government?
@@ericeandco A similar thing happened with a VA worker who had tens of thousands of veterans IDs on his computer when it was stolen out of the back seat of his vehicle. One of those persons info was mine. He still works for the VA. Not even a letter in his file. There is zero accountability in government.
That pause in his sentence just only tells me that he is lying just to keep the families of students calm from the data hack. 1:08
Politicians and law enforcement in LA now resemble East Coast and Mexican mafiosos.
🤦🏻♂️y’all dumb AF. It’s ignorant fools like you that are feeding these trolls and hackers
they probably got the full names, home addresses, and social security numbers of every student on the dark web now.
there’s about to be a spike in identity theft/fraud cases in the future
Not sure how they do it, but I've done work for Experian and in data breaches (like this) kids do get signed up for credit cards and put in debt because of these types of incidents. It gets sorted out, but it's not always a clean (or expediated) process.
@Karl with a K or trace em and put some hot metal through em...
@@ScullCandy56🤣🤣🤣
Nah, they usually get away with it.
Don't forget the fun part of them getting blamed for it to begin with.
@Sunny bob Quackers kind of funny because they still do that exact same process today: choose the company and offer only one year of coverage "as a courtesy out of an abundance of caution because sensitive data *may* have been impacted" is the phrasing they had us use, terrible honestly I left the job I had at the time after being on that program I just hated it
Look at the way the superintendent is communicating. He is lying.
Lying is his only option….and to say it’s all about the money sounds like what they say went a company raises prices ….it’s all about the money
Never provide personal information to a school. If they ask for social security, health data, address and stuff like that, refuse to provide it. They accept homeless and illegal immigrants with no SSN, you can claim you are one of them.
They say NO sensitive data was exposed, but give it a few more days and you better be sitting down when the news breaks that the hackers got EVERYTHING.
I remember in the 80s they used to say “look for the kindness in everyone.” I haven’t heard that line since 80s.
TIMES CHANGE.
@@cheryl5994 yep. And we all must adjust.
I'm from Miami, Florida and glad to see our former School Superintendent Mr. Carvalho standing up for L A schools in Protecting their students as he did here. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Guess who will get sued, Also guess who is paying for their incompetence…
They should spend more time on cyber security than pronouns.
I am a person affected along with my kids and we were notified because of the hospital going when some of my kids needed to be seen at the ER. Myself having a baby there. This is devastating
@Karl with a K pay the ransom they have families that need to eat so they should get money the wrong way
Legend has it that a list of pronouns was hacked. Emotional damage coming soon.
😂😂
Sooo they are willing to release innocent Kids personal information so they can deal with bad credit in the future! How honorable of them! SMH
no personal information , Smelling B S
This is one of many reasons why privacy matters. If they don’t have your information, it can’t be leaked by an organization.
wear a bag over your head so won't know what you like either...
The US government needs to pull out all stops and treat these actions as attacks on us citizens and not just random crimes. They need very severe consequences for these hackers and their sponsors.
lol
Nah the DA will just let the get off easy. Phuckem
@E Randco: We have a Cyber Command in our military. I’ve always thought it would be great if, along with their regular duties, they could fit in a little extra “wet work.” You know, some “White Hat” stuff. The equivalent of when our spec ops and Rangers participated in counter narco activities in Central America, but on line. Payback courtesy of Uncle Sam.
And punish retailers who sell all our data to pedophiles
The Gov can't tell the difference between a toaster and a computer.
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
AMEN 🙏🏽 … Glory be to YESHUAH MY REEDEMER MY LORD AND SAVIOR PRAISE BE TO HIM KING OF KINGS
Amen.
You screwed up, you should have prayed years ago for no inflation. Why were you slacking off?
I have a solution to fix all of this. But none of you are going to like it........
No one will but we must…
If the hackers don't get your money, the government's inflation will. They better hurry before I fill up my truck, lol.
People will never learn to keep sensitive info on a computer that is not hooked up to the internet. The internet was built for remote access.
Nothing is 100% secured, but this was just ridiculous. Most hacks rarely involve complex programming - it's usually attributed to exploiting gross negligence.
@@mgonzo3881 Not a lot of code required when hacking usually involved exploits and social engineering.
Is it some weird Epstien like internal emails???
you should always refused to pay, otherwise you will encourage more criminal activity.
Who wants the grades and test scores of any LA students?
Let’s be real, half the kids in the LA school district themselves have fake SSNs.
@@mikeg2491 AND ALMOST NONE HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!
Solar Winds HACKERS are HOMELAND SECURITY
This is just another example and reason private information should not be stored anywhere online where unauthorized personnel can access it.
If they know who is responsible for this or what group why isn’t the groups name mentioned?
That dude looks suspect!
You can learn way more on the internet for free than in school.
Forced to register with idiots.. and they handle your data with utmost security and care.
They might be lying?
As anyone actually been to the dark web to check the credibility of this story 🤔
Thank god this hispanic guy in a suit is on it
LAUSD = Los Angeles Unified School District
When there's many hand gestures and no direct contact with the camera or person and multiple pauses...it's a tale. You better believe they're more worried about what was hacked then a students grade or name. I believe the parents are concerned but the school system...not so much.
I think you mean “it’s a tell” not tale
He’s appears to be looking into another camera. I. Ant stand when they do that. Look like they’re lying
@@jillylove101
A "tale" is a story.
Not really sure we are “better off” with all this technology, these devices and the web. The old ways were certainly better in some respects. People were perhaps more content.
This guy is the "Superintendent" for LA school? UNREAL. Looks and sounds like a mobster.. Most of the politicians in LA look like this.
who gives a flying f
Ikr
A skywriting airplane
Watch the data released end up being more criminal than the hacking
Prepare for more hacks because of Nord pipeline.
luckily it was saved on hunter's laptop
Luckily trump saves classified documents on paper
So you want me to believe that hackers could hack school files but not hack the school funding bank accounts? Roight
They set Monday as the deadline but didn't wait for... Y'all realize its already Monday in half the world. 🤦♀️ If the attackers are in China or Russia - its MONDAY for them.
Are you serious lol
Well they should have specified the time zone to use!
Good that LA didn't pay the ransom. What you pay for, you get more of.
If they won't comment on what info was released, then people should be concerned.
The Big Question should be How much does the District spend on computer services whose most effective protection is the OFF SWITCH ???
@@wysiwyg1 Their hiring practices are based on who is the most incompetent !
@@wysiwyg1 It's California, I think we already know the answer to that question.
the whole school and everyone in it will be sold to the best buyer across the country
The superintendent looks like a shady Fallout4 character
This is the price we pay as a society for having convenient internet access 24/7/365. We make ourselves sitting ducks for all manner of cyber criminals. I see all these kids today constantly purchasing online with their debit cards, and I can't help but think about how they'll eventually set themselves up for a world of hurt.
@Karl with a K um, how does that remove them from being a sitting duck? Paying a ransom? Great! They’ll hack again.
Debit cards? So they're emptying out their bank accounts instead of dealing with APR. That means their credit information is less secure than it could be.
@Karl with a K ?? You think they will stop? Ransomers will steal as long as you keep paying. Perpetual blackmailing.
They put a pretentious man on the air in a crisp expensive suit to run his mouth for damage control, and then tuck in a hotline that shuts down at 3pm (way before parents get off at 5pm) at the end. Which one is more useless? The man in the crisp suit or the hotline with inconvenient hours?
Keep opening the borders.
Now everyone knows I got a D in Spanish.
how sure is LAUSD it was not an "inside" job?
Do bad; attract bad. Karma is a Universal Law.
Hackers do more!
Simple solution. Keep sensitive data on an intranet system within the district schools--not accessible via the internet.
Hacker’s are the worse people.
Very inadequate report. Sounds mostly public info anyway
Don't understand why they don't go after the abortion records, bet they would pay a huge number to keep that information secure.
This guy does not inspire confidence, to say the least. It sounds like they shut down the system, and it's their "own experts" (that helped create the problem), doing the assessment??? I pray someone at LAUSD, the city, or City Council, got Kroll, Cylance, or another top tier group involved immediately. This is nonsense.
Not sure what the hackers in regards to data information . Start with the truth but you can't release that information . Superintendent of these public schools isn't ahead on this matter .
Biden should have sent them a strongly worded letter like he did Putin! L-mao! How did that work out Ukraine?
Is LAUSD even worth the money?
What you need is all your info up on the cloud, I need to check it out.
The dark webs will reveal the real identity of Pookie and Ray-Ray. Reveal that the earth is flat and aliens are real. 👽
Have you consider the web operate on UTC time....
Ridiculous. They didn't negotiate with them. They allowed to happen 💯✔️
Superintendent looks like mafia don.
now everyone on the dark web knows that i got a D- on geometry.
The hacker known as 4chan
Let me guess....california falling further again?
Follow the money.
They have everything
I wonder who they pissed off
Never pay.
THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR RESRICTING COOL MATH GAMES
"we've released your data!" .. nobody notices 🤣
how can they say personal information has not been compromised after being hacked? idiots!
you get hacked and then say we dont think they stole the good stuff!
pathetic just pathetic!
Very interesting.
How terrible!
how was that possible?
Someone let them inside the USD's firewall. Simple as that. My partner works with a financial services firm and every week colleagues receive phishing emails attempting to breach security. If - despite the training they're received - someone clicks the link in that email, their screen locks, they see a message stating corporate security has been breached [ofc it really isn't], the Director of IT is contacted, and a closed door meeting + retraining occurs.
This feels like Deja Vu
1:15 that is B.S they know for a fact they did get that information
Russia?
Good.
Well most of it is useless... students = debt
Sitting in Chine or Russia or... the list is long.
every system should be Backed Up no less than once a week
Have 5 sets of disks so that if you get hacks and don't know for two weeks
you have a none hacked set of backups
When the system is LOCKED then you just remove and reformat the disks
Put in the last Backup sent of disks and more forward
Why is this so hard for computer operators to understand
While that will allow companies and in case school district networks to get back up an running with minimal to no data loss it won't prevent stolen data from being leaked such as this case which is the bigger issue here.
It does seem if they hacked Great Britain and thought Monday at an early Am hour was Monday on west coast that they would be from a place with an earlier time zone. So it would be like 8:00 AM Monday there or something like that. Or they just don't care.
Pay them in bitcoin and then track them down with chain analysis.
Stop trying to harvest every little bit of information about everyone, and keeping it on a computer that people can access!! If you don't have the info, and don't keep it so it is available via internet access. THEY CAN'T STEAL IT!!! Just a thought!! 🙄🙄
Probably the names, dates of birth and social security numbers of the students were hacked, not for a ransom, but to provide legal ID for our newest "non- citizens. After all, we have 2.1 million who have crossed over our "secure" borders since January of 21.
It would be cheaper to hire hit men to kill all hackers
Sea eye aye at it again.
So you're going to tell me that these schools don't have a person that is monitoring the privacy of the data?
So GTA gets hacks FBI ALL OVER IT THIS CRICKETS 😂
