New South Wales (NSW) Department of Education IT systems are coming back online two days after they were crippled by a cyber attack as teachers in the Australian state prepared for online classes amid the Greater Sydney lockdown.

A number of internal systems were deactivated late on Wednesday to protect student and staff data after officials detected the attack.
