Ransomware.io information page on an apparent ransomware hack on CS Viamonde.

This is a reminder that Toronto's French public school board, #CSViamonde, was the apparent victim of the Termite #Ransonware group in the Fall of 2024.

Employees and students should be aware of #Termite and should be asking the board about its actions.

Termite History and Victimology Termite is an English-speaking extortion group which allegedly steals data from organisations, threatening to leak this on a TOR-hosted DLS unless a ransom is paid. From analysis of the date of the earliest posts on the DLS, Termite emerged on or prior to 12 November 2024. It has so far claimed attacks against five victims which span a range of geographies and industry sectors: US-based auto-parts supplier Nifast Corporation. France-based water treatment company Culligan France. Oman-based oil company OQ. Germany-based NGO Lebenshilfe Heinsberg. Canada-based education organisation Conseil Scolaire Viamonde. Termite has yet to share any data allegedly stolen from these named companies. However, Conseil Scolaire Viamonde confirmed that it suffered a cyber incident on 17 October 2024 which caused disruptions to its IT systems. Currently, Cyjax cannot confirm whether these are related.

It turns out that the attack on the French school board, #CSViamonde, was carried out by #Termite and it was a ransomware attack.

I can't find any details from our school board about #RansomWare

Thanks to
@karenpaulscbc.bsky.social for cluing me in to other ransomware attacks on school boards.

Canadian school boards among those affected by cyber incident involving third party | Globalnews.ca School boards in multiple provinces have been affected by a data breach involving software used by schools across North America to store student information.

Data breaches in Toronto, Durham, Peel school boards.

Update coming up on CBC Metro Morning radio.

I wonder if it's connected to the #hacking incident on the French public school board, #CSViamonde, earlier this Fall.
