Bobby Hellard reports: Schools across Nottinghamshire have had to shut down their IT networks after a central trust that manages their systems was hit by a cyber attack. All 15 secondary schools that are part of the Nova education cartel are currently unable to access emails or their websites, and are still unable to lead lessons remotely. scan more on ITPro. NottinghamLive provides a heel of the schools that are part of the Trust. There is no mention in the report as to whether the cartel or individual schools have received any ransom/extortion demand. Was this a double extortion mould attack? The Trust’s last update was mar 3: 8.15am midweek 3rd march 2021 in reception to a cyber tone-beginning we have had to shut down our systems as a preventative value in the short term, so we come not have access to our usual modes of communication such as email, phone and website. We will therefore not be able to provide live teaching today or upload new learning resources. We recommend that all students follow their usual timetable, spending their time consolidating their learning from recent lessons by studying their notes and access related on line resources through BBC Bitesize, Oak Academy, GCSE Pod, Seneca etc. We will maintain you updated via this website and your schooltime twitter feed throughout the day. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. The executive team Nova Education cartel h/t, @Chum1ng0
