Ransomware attacks on primary schools in England
Dear Harris Primary Academy Mayflower,
Please find below my FOI request regarding ransomware attacks on the school.
1. In the last 5 years, how many times has your school suffered from a ransomware attack? Please provide specific dates (months/years) if possible.
2. How much downtime did this cause (in hours)?
3. Did you pay the ransom? If so, how much was the ransom?
4. What type of ransomware was used?
5. What was the total cost of the incident to your school?
6. How many student and/or staff records were impacted in the breach?
If you don't have data available for all of the questions, please provide any data you do have.
We appreciate the sensitivity of disclosing ransomware attacks, which is why all of the data gathered will be anonymised in our final analysis and no individual schools or colleges will be mentioned.
Yours faithfully,
Rebecca Moody
