Springfield Public Schools is one of the largest school districts in Massachusetts. Within the district, there are more than 60 schools, over 25,000 students and 4,500 staff members. Due to COVID-19, the district was currently planned to remain in a fully remote learning model through the end of October. Yesterday, the district announced that remote learning was cancelled for the remainder of the day due to “issues with our network.” After the announcement, families were notified that the district was the victim of a cyberattack and that school devices should be shut down. Although a source told Bleeping Computer that the incident was due to a ransomware attack, a public announcement by Mayor Domenic J. Sarno and Superintendent Daniel Warwick stated that “It is anticipated that the risk will be cleared and resolved in the near future so that remote learning may continue.”
