The Rialto Unified School District in San Bernardino County has been forced to temporarily suspend virtual instruction after its system was hit with a malware attack.

The K-12 district, which has 28 schools and serves about 25,000 students, announced on its website Sunday night that as a result of the attack, it shut down its network and has been forced to temporarily stop online classes.

“Rialto Unified School District has been affected by malware, which is software that is specifically designed to disrupt, damage or gain unauthorized access to the computer system,” the district said in a statement.
Cybersecurity experts say these attacks have been on the rise during the pandemic as more people are working remotely, and possibly using their personal devices, and they can come in various forms.
