Cyber Attacks - A reminder to remain vigilant

Cyber Alerts have been issued to schools, after confidential documents from 14 schools have been leaked online by hackers.

The documents, seen by the BBC, include children's SEN information, child passport scans, staff pay scales and contract details, taken in 2021 & 2022.

The Vice Society has been behind a high-profile string of attacks on schools across the UK and the USA in recent months.

When data is stolen, Vice Society makes demands for money before leaking the documents if payment is not made.
