Student Testing Company Cyberattack Effects Several States
Return To ArticleThe cyberattack that stopped some students from taking standardized tests in Tennessee this week also affected several other states.
At a hearing about the testing problems in the Tennessee legislature on Wednesday, the Chief Operating Officer for the company that administers the tests, Brad Bumgartner, said the same attack affected four or five other states.
The cyberattack prevented students from submitting the answers to the tests on Tuesday, but a totally unrelated problem stopped them from logging in on Monday. The problem on Monday was caused by a flaw in the design of the software.
