Systems Restored After NSW Cyber Attack
New South Wales (NSW) Department of Education IT systems are coming back online two days after they were crippled by a cyber attack as teachers in the Australian state prepared for online classes amid the Greater Sydney lockdown.
A number of internal systems were deactivated late on Wednesday to protect student and staff data after officials detected the attack.
It came just hours after NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced schools in Greater Sydney would move to online learning for the first week of Term 3, which starts on Tuesday.
Teachers will be relieved to hear @NSWEducation systems are coming back online following a cyber-attack. A huge thank you to the teams who worked around the clock for this result.
