Hackers guessed a password, destroyed a 158 year old British company, and put 700 people out of work.
I don’t care how old the hackers are, when caught, we should make an example of them. The current sentencing guidelines will undoubtedly be way too lenient.

Help, please:

If anyone has a copy of the ransom note sent to PowerSchool in December 2024 or PowerSchool clients in May 2025, please email me a copy or upload it to me on Signal. I want to see not only the body, but the full header and signature.

PowerSchool has not been transparent about the extortion aspects of the incident and has not responded to inquiries.

To reach me on Signal, my number is +1 516-776-7756. Email: breaches@databreaches[.]net

@Npars01 and even then to me this looks more like a "bad" #PR stunt to me.

It's the digital equivalent of kids shooting paintballs at a parked cop car in a monsoon rain and that got only noticed retroactively...

  • I just think it's wasteful to #DDoS @briankrebs 's website because it's only a #blog, he doesn't pay any #ransom, is extremely well protected and outage of it doesn't generate the same public or financial pressure compared to businesses and governmental institutions.

Like even if they had succeeded, what would've been the outcome? Maybe line that reads: "Congrats Kiddo, you just wasted thousands if not millions of dollars worth in Monero just to create an outage of a tiny blog. Go give yourself a star in your exercise book!"

  • Someone just had more money than sense I guess...
Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@briankrebs@infosec.exchange TBH, I think #DDoS'ing *your blog* is kinda wasteful beyond *"#BraggingRights"* because it's not only *well protected* but the amount of damage / revenue by #blackmailing they could expect is just zero. - I mean, it shure is a way to get *your attention* but that doesn't mean any #BlackHat should *ask for that*! But there are thousands if not millions of weaker targets they could've attacked. - Seems like the [muggers from Crocodile Dundee](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi0G0b1dNzE) *but dumber* cuz they try to puncture your tires but you're sitting in a tracked tank. Pretty shure had #Google not told you or anyone else you would not have even noticed it.

PowerSchool, the cloud platform provider providing services to school boards across Canada & the US has confirmed that even though a ransom has been paid to the cybercriminals holding the data ransom & received assurances that the data was destroyed, the criminals have returned demanding for more money as they have not actually destroyed the data.

This unfortunately highlights the biggest risk when it comes to paying ransom for data destruction, threat actors can always come back demanding for more once they realize exactly how valuable the data is.
