NAMPA, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho school district has distributed computers to students a month after a department-wide cyberattack wiped out the district's network.
The Idaho Press reported Thursday that Nampa School District officials finished giving out re-imaged laptops to middle school students after high school students were equipped with unaffected devices last week.
School officials say the malware attack on Aug. 21 came just two days after the school year began, disabling the district's entire computer network.
Officials say they have not been able to determine the source of the attack.
Some parents say they are frustrated because there has not been as much communication on back-end issues since the attack occurred, including how to check student lunch balances and online grades.
