Pulaski Co. Public Schools investigating cyber attack

PULASKI, Va. - Pulaski County Public Schools issued a statement Tuesday on being impacted by a cybercriminal attack. According to Superintendent Robert Graham, irregularities in the system servers were detected Sunday. PCPS says they then contacted experts to conduct a forensic investigation, which determined the incident involves ransomware deployment. The IT department is working with cybersecurity experts to restore the security of the school's servers. PCPS intends to resume a normal school schedule Wednesday and believes the cybercriminal attack will not disrupt classroom teaching.
