Cyberattacks Target Louisiana School Systems, Emergency Declared

Associated Press

   BATON ROUGE, LA. - Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has issued an
   emergency declaration after malware attacks against three school
   systems in the state were detected.

   Edwards didn't provide details about the attacks affecting school
   systems in Sabine and Morehouse parishes and the City of Monroe. He
   says the declaration makes state resources available to help local
   governments respond to the cyberattacks and stop future data loss.

   Edwards' office says the declaration will remain in effect through Aug.
   21, unless terminated earlier.
