Priya PatelTLDR: Okanagan-Skaha School District in British Columbia is currently offline after a cyber-security incident, which has taken phones and emails offline. The schools, however, remain open and operational. The district hopes to have its systems back online early next week. Support is being received from the Ministry of Education, Child Care staff, Safer Schools Together, local authorities, and cyber-security experts. The incident is currently being investigated, and no further details are available at this time.
In 2020, the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen in the same area was almost the victim of a cyberattack that attempted to install ransomware, but was able to recover within a month.
