Law enforcement continues to investigate a recent cyberattack on Albuquerque Public Schools that put students out of school for two days as a cybersecurity team battles further attacks to get the affected systems back on track.

According to KRQE, the attack focused on a system that monitors attendance and who is authorized to pick up students from school. Since classes were cancelled on Jan. 14 and 15, officials have been using a temporary system while the permanent one is updated.

“So it’s an ongoing process that we continually upgrade and develop the system so that they are protected,” said APS Superintendent Scott Elder. “The reality is this entire time we’ve continued to be attacked, and the IT team is not only restoring our systems but continuing to protect them.”

The system update is possible after $300,000 was allocated from the school district to hire cybersecurity experts to help the IT department.

More details about the attack were not released by officials. They say they're prevented from discussing it further, even with other districts to identify vulnerabilities and share prevention tactics. Elder, the superintendent, said he feels more federal and state resources should be used to help schools with cybersecurity.

There was a recent ransomware attack on Bernalillo County just prior to the incident that caused county offices to close. The FBI does not think they are related.
