Cyber Attacks on Schools

FAO: All Schools

Dear Schools,

There has been a major data breach at two Tunbridge Wells schools.  The schools have closed after hackers broke into their servers, stole data and encrypted pupil information. We advise all schools to remain vigilant and to liaise with their IT team to ensure that the IT infrastructure and data is secure. Below is the link to the article:
