The School District

Ski Kacoroski is a systems administrator with the Northshore School District in Bothell, Washington, which has 23,000 students. In 2019, the district was infected by Emotet and Trickbot, two notorious types of malware. Access to the district's systems was auctioned off twice by cybercriminals, and the district's system were eventually infected in September 2019 with the Ryuk ransomware. But the district recovered through tenacity and luck. Speakers: Ski Kacoroski, Systems Administrator, Northshore School District; Jeremy Kirk, Executive Editor, Information Security Media Group.
