Northern Ireland's C2k System Recovers from Cyber Attack

0:00On April 17, Northern Ireland's School IT Network, the C2K system, got hit by a cyberattack earlier this month, but the education authority just, announced its largely backup and running. They've reconnected over 414,000 user accounts for pupils, teachers, and staff, getting things close to normal operations. A 16-year-old boy was arrested Thursday by detectives probing the breach, as the authority ramps up recovery efforts. Service desk calls have dropped way down to typical school day levels, and most key system schools rely on are now accessible again. Officials are still helping a handful of targeted schools where some personal data got compromised, and they'll reach out directly to those affected. With advice, no action needed from anyone yet. The teamwork from staff, partners, and families made this turn around possible.
