They remained in the environment for over a month before being detected and deployed ransomware while exfiltrating student, payroll, and contractor data (Los Angeles Unified School District, 2023, p. 1; Blume, 2023). The stolen data was apparently published online by Vice Society due to CISA&#8217;s intervention and advisement &#8220;not to pay&#8221; (Page, 2022, paras. 5-7). Data published included &#8220;personally identifiable information about students who received special education services, including their detailed medical histories, academic performance and disciplinary records&#8221; (Blume, 2023, para. 4). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Estimated costs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M-F call center costs (since October 2, 2022) (Los Angeles Unified School District, 2023, p. 2). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Independent Information Technology Task Force&#8221; &#8220;composed of cybersecurity experts from top private and public sectors&#8221; (LAUSD, 2022, para. 3). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operational disruptions: &#8220;600,000 users had to reset passwords&#8221; and &#8220;tripwires&#8221; during recovery (Blume, 2022, paras. 19-20).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2,000+ one-year memberships to Experian\u00ae\u2019s IdentityWorksSM (Los Angeles Unified School District, 2023, p. 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Involved laws: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal: FERPA, HIPAA, and HITECH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">State: CCPA and Cal.
