Security News > 2022 > January > FinalSite: No school data stolen in ransomware attack behind site outages
FinalSite announced today the findings of a six-day investigation into last week's ransomware attack, stating it found no evidence schools' data accessed or stolen by hackers.
After a six-day investigation, FinalSite states that they have determined what ransomware gang performed the attack and how they gained access to their network but would not be disclosing their names due to ongoing investigations.
The report also states that FinalSite is confident that no "Client data" was viewed or stolen during the ransomware attack.
"After six days of investigation, we know when the threat actor entered, how they entered, and what they looked at. We are confident in saying that no client data has been viewed, compromised or extracted," reads the investigation report from FinalSite.
While threat actors may not have stolen customer data, the hackers likely stole corporate data belonging to FinalSite during the attack.
If data was stolen from FinalSite, the threat actors would likely publish it on a data leak site unless a ransom is paid.
