A UK multi-academy school estate has been struck by ransomware belonging to the 3AM group, in what security researchers suspect may be one of the first AI-assisted cyberattacks on education infrastructure. Details remain limited, but the incident is drawing attention for its potential use of artificial intelligence in the attack and its impact on schools' operations and data.
