Albuquerque is not alone, as five school districts in the state have suffered major cyberattacks in the past two years, including one district that s still wrestling with a cyberattack that hit just after Christmas.
A man who escaped from a Colorado jail in late December and who was sought in the subsequent non-fatal shooting of a New Mexico police officer a week ago was arrested Friday in Arizona, police said.
When the superintendent of Albuquerque Public Schools announced this week that a cyberattack would lead to the cancellation of classes for about 75,000 students, he noted that the district's technology department had been fending off attacks "for the last few weeks."
