A group of school districts, colleges, and universities in California have signed a new data-sharing agreement designed to improve education-to-career pathways across the region.

Stanford University and the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) announced they were victimized by the Accellion data breach, joining a growing list of schools. Reports indicate the CLOP ransomware group contacted the universities and demanded $10 million in bitcoin or the attackers would publish the stolen data.
