Albuquerque Public Schools in New Mexico were closed for a second day on Friday after a cyberattack hit district networks, including student data.
The attack "compromised the student information system used to take attendance, contact families in emergencies, and assure that students are picked up from school by authorized adults," according to a video message from Superintendent Scott Elder.
"The possible impact of student safety forced us to close schools," Elder said, saying officials were working to identify the problem and prevent future attacks. "All of our efforts are now focused on returning students to schools as soon as possible."
