Groton Public Schools experienced a cyberattack affecting its main servers on 01/02/2024, producing a district-wide internet and network outage. The school system undertook recovery work throughout the day and reported that roughly 90 percent of system operations had been restored by the end of the day. Later breach notifications documented unauthorized access to the environment, but available reporting does not establish a broader interruption of classroom instruction.
