Carvalho: No wide release of data in L.A. school cyberattack
LA TimesAlberto M. Carvalho speaks during a Sept. 6 news conference about the cyberattack on the Los Angeles Unified School District. “Based on what we have seen, there is at this point no evidence of widespread impact as far as truly sensitive, confidential information,” Carvalho said. “The release was actually more limited than what we had originally anticipated.” A Times scan of the documents, which are on the dark web, largely corroborated Carvalho’s assessment but also uncovered at least several complaints detailing workplace harassment and personally identifiable information of minors. The full review of leaked documents, which began Sunday, could take another week because it must be analyzed piece by piece, said Soheil Katal, the school system’s chief information officer. “As a new parent to LAUSD — kinder student — I’m super concerned, but I’m going to wait for more information to come,” said Nancy Montes.
