This evening’s TV1 news mentions a Cambridge school <https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/cambridge-school-among-businesses-affected-global-cyber-attack> among other victims in NZ.
The Ministry of Ed says 11 schools in NZ have been hit <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/worldwide-ransomware-attack-st-peters-college-and-10-other-schools-hit-by-us-cyber-attack/JACHAD3OPGUOF7ZIF4PJXDPICA/?ref=readmore>. The impact has been felt worldwide <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/scale-details-of-massive-kaseya-ransomware-attack-emerge/KWI34JA7GV6U3VHU4X66ZCXT6M/>, seemingly the biggest single customer being a Swedish grocery chain with 800 stores. Just to be clear, this wasn’t a phishing attack: it exploited a vulnerability in a tool widely used by a range of small-to-medium customers to keep their systems secure, turning it into a massive security hole into those very systems.
