Thousands of students attended Edinburgh schools on Saturday to reset the passwords of the IT network, after the phishing attack, locked them from learning materials.
The local council said no information was endangered in an attempt to cyber attack, which occurred on Friday in the middle of the review period for exams.
All high schools were inaugurated on Saturday to allow students to re -regulate their passwords next week, as they were out of the network as caution and were unable to access revision resources.
About 2,500 students are believed to participate in person on Saturday.
The attack was identified on Friday that a member of the employee found out “unusual and suspicious” activity in city schools and IT networks in the early years.
“We saw that approximately 2,500 youths attend their high schools to regulate their passwords, and I am glad that our dedicated school staff were ready to support them and minimize the impact on their test preparation,” said James Dolgelish, a training director.
“I thank our colleagues for their rapid thinking and consciousness, without much worse, and they are safe and protected for their work over the weekend,” he said.
“Careful monitoring will continue in the coming days and we will keep the Scottish government and the Scottish police up to date,” he said.
“I would like to wish all the students sitting in exams in the coming days and weeks.”
The council decided to reset passwords for all users as “precautions” and made it possible for employees and students to enter the network until they set up the new password.
“The Edinburgh City Council is supported by the Scottish Cyber Coordination Center,” a spokesman for the Scottish government said.
“The schools are open and ministers are not recommended for the effects on exam tests,” he said.
“Cyber security issues are reserved for the British government. However, the Scottish government is determined to do whatever it can to build Scottish cyber resilience and reduce the impact of cyber events on our sectors.”
