Idaho Students Get Clean Computers Month After Cyberattack

NAMPA, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho school district has distributed computers to students a month after a department-wide cyberattack wiped out the district's network, officials said. Nampa School District officials finished giving out re-imaged laptops to middle school students after high school students were equipped with unaffected devices last week, The Idaho Press reported Thursday. The cyberattack on Aug. 21 came just two days after the school year began, disabling the district's entire computer network. With more than 14,000 students, the Nampa School District is one of the largest in the state. "Our top priority is to get everything back up and running," district spokeswoman Kathleen Tuck said. Tuck responded to him with everything the district knows, but she said the district doesn't know what happened yet.
