Los Angeles Unified School District’s students’ psychological evaluations were published to a “dark web” site by Vice Society, a Russian ransomware gang, following a ransomware attack that occurred in 2022, according to and investigation by The 74. The school district has not notified families that their student’s records, which detail families immigration status, potential child abuse and sexual misconduct allegations involving students, have been leaked.
“It’s deeply disturbing that an organization that you’ve entrusted with such sensitive information is either significantly delaying — or even hiding — the fact that individuals had very sensitive information exposed,” Doug Levin, national director of the K12 Security Information exchange, told the outlet.
In September 2022, the school district was hit with a ransomware attack which resulted in thousands of files being stolen, according to The Wall Street Journal. The district did not comply with any Vice Society demands made during the attack and continued school as normal.
Records made public by the hackers include notes on students with disabilities including that a student is in foster care “due to domestic violence in the home” and that another is “easily angered when he does not get his way,” The 74 reported. Other records reveal that a student wants to “become a police officer so that he can ‘arrest people because they do drugs’” and that one student had “been hitting other children or adults in a school environment.”
The school district is working to decide if the records made public are considered “medical information” and require families to be notified under law, according to The 74. While some student’s health records are covered under HIPAA, psychological evaluations are not, which could result in a Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act violation.
Parents are concerned that the data breach could take funds away from school’s special education programs in order to handle legal matters, Ariel Harman-Holmes, a Los Angeles Unified School District parent of three disabled children, told The 74.
“I would rather have those funds go back into the schools and special education rather than spending a ton on litigation or settlements about privacy issues,” Harman-Holmes said.
The Los Angeles Unified School District did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.
This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.
This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.
Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.
That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
