The Little Rock School District announced today that it had detected “unauthorized activity” on its network.
From the release:
The Little Rock School District (LRSD) recently detected unauthorized activity on its network. Upon discovery, we immediately activated our incident response protocols and hired independent computer forensic experts to help us determine the nature and scope of the activity. We have also taken steps to notify law enforcement and will cooperate with any subsequent investigations into this incident.
The forensic analysis is still ongoing; however, the analysis has determined that some data may have been taken from our network. At this time, we do not know exactly what data may be at issue, but we are working as quickly as possible to be able to ascertain that information. Should we find any evidence student or employee data was impacted, we will notify all appropriate parties.
LRSD has implemented additional monitoring and threat detection software to supplement the security measures already in place and has taken steps to further secure its network. We are committed to completing a detailed review of our internal systems and will take everything we learned from the incident to strengthen our network for the future.
The forensic analysis and investigation into this unauthorized activity are still ongoing. We will share more information with our stakeholders and our community as we are able to do so.
