My high school getting hacked is now, apparently, national news. @SenSchumer is proposing that DHS publish more guidance on ransomware that few people will read.https://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/school-cyberattack-ransom-rockville-centre-1.36741245 …

I don't think this problem gets meaningfully improved with more guidance or "hunt teams." No one reads it, and it's pretty easy for even a single ransomware team to cause havoc on a large scale.

I think the problem is that most schools blew their entire IT budget, up front, on insecurable garbage they got sold by VARs without considering how they'd maintain any of it. They can't afford the staff required to securely admin a network as complex as what they currently own.

Unfortunately, I think this means that certain schools will require a bailout. It should come with strings: it's only for cloud migration, and ongoing maintenance and incident response are budgeted appropriately.
