55,000 Impacted by Cyberattack on California School Association The Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) is informing nearly 55,000 individuals that their information may have been compromised as a result of a cyberattack. ACSA describes itself as the largest umbrella association for school leaders in the United States, serving more than 17,000 California educators, including superintendents, principals, vice-principals, and classified managers. The incident occurred last year. ACSA discovered on September 24, 2023, that some files in its environment had been encrypted, which indicates that the organization was targeted in a ransomware attack. An investigation revealed that a threat actor had gained access to ACSA systems between September 23 and 24, and they accessed and possibly exfiltrated certain types of information. The exposed files contained information such as name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, driver’s license number, payment card information, medical information, health insurance information, tax ID, student report card and test score, employer-assigned identification number, and online account credentials. ACSA completed its investigation and identified the impacted individuals in early May 2024, when it started notifying them about the data breach. https://lnkd.in/gyQgYG79 #cybersecurity #cyberattack #cybercrime #cyberrisk #cyberthreats #informationsecurity #infosec #breach #databreach #malware #google #bing #networksecurity #technicalsupport #itservices #itsupport #dataprotection #datasecurity #itnews #hackingprevention #cloudsecurity #riskmanagement #fbi #vciso #securityexpert #cisa #financialrisk #manufacturing #iot #ransomware

Highly recommend the "What If" analyzer in #microsoft #entraid Conditional Access Policies with understanding if a policy was or wasn't applied to a user in a specific situation. It can also help determine if a policy would apply in a known state. https://lnkd.in/gWg_bTvJ

Remember, just like painting the Golden Gate bridge, cybersecurity is a non-stop process. There are always tools to vet, replace, repeat. 🐾 Many thanks to Dale Roberts and the Bay Area Information Technology Affinity (BAIT) group for featuring "What Good Cybersecurity Looks Like" at April's meeting. #cybersecurity #riskmanagement #cyberresilience  #threatlandscape #threatprotection Shahin Pirooz Brian Moody
