When the South Redford School District became the target of a cyber attack earlier this fall after a staff member clicked on a malware link, Superintendent Jason Bobrovetski credited the swift work of cyber forensic experts and the district’s technology service providers for preventing the attack from “turning into something greater.”
Even though students missed two days of school, Bobrovetski said the district’s network monitor with the Wayne Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA) had proactive measures in place to ensure the attack didn’t result in a ransomware incident, while cyber security experts were brought in to cleanse and restore functionality to the district’s network over several days.
