Take with a pinch of salt as it's from The Telegraph:

QuoteGovernment laptops given to schools for students to use at home have come pre-installed with a serious virus that tries to connect them to a Russian server.

QuoteAn email to teachers from Bradford Council says DFE techies believe the "infected file was last modified on 7/12/2019 shortly after the laptop was manufactured".
