Finalsite (large host of school portals) outage due to ransomware
- mlyle 5y agoHighlights: * Finalsite provides hosting-- both of public websites and private (parent/faculty) portals -- to thousands of schools worldwide. * There's been an outage now for 2 days. * Only in the past few hours, they've shared that the cause of the outage was a systems compromise and ransomware. * Finalsite claims they believe that no sensitive information was taken.
- mlyle 5y agoOne more interesting note: Finalsite has a recommended communication to make to parents, which is very opaque about the underlying cause of the outage.
