The cyber attackers that targeted Minneapolis Public Schools have released
some of the information they took. That�s according to a message
Minnesota�s third largest district sent to families on Friday.

�We are working with cybersecurity specialists to quickly and securely
download the data so that we can conduct an in-depth and comprehensive
review to determine the full scope of what personal information was
impacted and to whom the information relates,� reads the statement.

Hackers had warned the district that if it didn�t pay a ransom of $1
million, they would release the stolen, private data online. District
officials have said they have not paid any ransom.

The district says it completed a review of data which was posted earlier
this month, and it will now be reaching out to families whose information
was accessible. It says it will offer free credit monitoring and identity
protection services to those individuals who were affected.

The district is also warning people who accessed their personal accounts
on district devices to change their passwords. And they�re asking people
not to share any data now exposed by the attack.
