"Crooks Taunt Prestigious School by Leaking Student Names"

Bishop Luffa School, a British secondary school operated by the Church of England, had student information exposed due to a possible ransomware attack by the Medusa group. Local media reports indicate that the organization's systems have been offline since March 9. Although the school did not mention the cause of the security breach, ransomware is the likely culprit. The Medusa ransomware gang has listed Bishop Luffa School on its dark web blog, a website used by the group to showcase its latest victims. The threat actors also included samples of data allegedly stolen from the school containing the students' names and surnames and the faculty members' personal information. The entry on Medusa's blog containing the school's details reveals that the gang demanded $100,000 to remove the stolen data. However, the ransom demand could be significantly different from what the cybercriminals have made public. Last month, the Medusa ransomware gang joined the ranks of the most active ransomware groups, having begun operations at the tail end of last year. This article continues to discuss the British secondary school potentially being a victim of the Medusa ransomware gang and the growing activity of this cybercriminal group.
