CYBER SECURITY

Earlier this month an organized criminal group managed to hack into the school district computer system in Springfield, Massachusetts. The incident is still under investigation. But the school district is not alone in its vulnerability. Cyber attacks are an increasingly widespread problem for public schools.

Today on The Rundown panelists discuss the recent cyberattack on Springfield schools, the status of lawsuits involving a Springfield courthouse and MGM casino, and the root of data center discontent.

Tuesday night Springfield, Mass. school officials announced there had been a data breach in the cyber attack that happened around Labor Day, possibly of staff social security numbers.

Schools in Springfield, Massachusetts, remain closed through the week, as the city continues an investigation into an apparent widespread cyberattack on the district's computer system that began sometime before Labor Day.
