A ransomware attack on software provider Finalsite has affected the websites of about 5,000 schools, most of them in the US, a Finalsite spokesperson told CNN Friday.
About 8,000 schools — including boarding schools, high schools and colleges —worldwide use Connecticut-based Finalsite's software for their websites and public communications, according to Finalsite.
The websites of a "majority of our schools are back online this morning," Finalsite spokesperson Morgan Delack said in an email. "At this time, we do not have any evidence to show data has been compromised."
