“We deeply regret that this has occurred and are committed to supporting you,” Superintendent Scott Brabrand wrote in the Friday letter to the community. He said that the district was working with Virginia State Police and the FBI to “bring the attackers to justice.”Documents provided to The Washington Post that had been published by the hackers appear to show student disciplinary letters sent by the school district to families and insurance data for some district employees. School district spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell declined to confirm Saturday whether that information was part of the stolen cache. “We’re committed to working to protect our community’s data moving forward.”ADCaldwell said the district will offer free credit-monitoring services to all district employees and their spouses and any others who were affected. Citing the ongoing investigation, Caldwell declined to say how much the hackers had demanded from the district or whether that demand had been met.
