MINNEAPOLIS -- Nearly four weeks and at least three emails later, Minneapolis Public Schools' families remain somewhere between uncertainty and unimpressed with the district's response to a major cyber attack.

"I suppose if the bribe doesn't work with the school, a bribe might work with the parent," middle school parent Pat Ostergan told WCCO. "They haven't told us what the information is. They've told us there's a leak. They haven't told us what they got or what they could have."

Jessica Hoida, another middle school parent, lamented she remains "frustrated" by MPS' referring to the attack as an "encryption event."
