The North East ISD is alerting current and former employees that a hacker has compromised their personal information. District officials say the cyberattack in late August hacked the email of an employee who handles wire transfers in the payroll department. The hacker tried to have the money wired to a different bank, but the district's systems detected the irregularity before the funds were transferred. But the hacked employee had access to about five-thousand other employees' personal information.
