TOWSON, Md. — While online and in-person learning continues to be closed at least through Tuesday, Baltimore County Public Schools is organizing what they're calling “confidence checks” on staff computers.
The goal is to track which staff members are in possession of school-issued devices compromised by last Wednesday's ransomware attack.

Any employee found to have a defective device, will be given a new one instead.
As of Monday, the school system said it believed Chromebooks and related google accounts were not impacted but were still evaluating Windows based devices such as HP Revolves or Probooks.
