The Judson Independent School District paid an undisclosed amount to hackers to at least partially resolve a ransomware attack that has hobbled the district since June 17.
The attack shut down phones, e-mail and computers for the district, which has about 26,600 students and staff members across 30 campuses on the Northeast Side. Officials haven’t said whether personal data was breached.
