How California schools are fighting ransomware attacks As ransomware attacks target them, some California schools are scrambling to respond while others have done little to protect themselves. Author: Zayna Syed | CalMatters Updated: 1:24 PM PDT July 20, 2021 SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. Schools aren’t exactly known for their expansive budgets. Many struggle to pay for basic operations such as functioning air conditioning and employee salaries.   But this past year, cybercriminals have attacked a growing number of schools across California and the country. A handful of California schools, colleges and universities have experienced ransomware attacks, often with harsh consequences: Sierra College had some systems shut down during finals week, Newhall School District’s 10 elementary schools went a week without online school during the pandemic, and UC San Francisco paid a $1.14 million ransom.
