LOCAL AUTHORITIES OR HOMELAND SECURITY AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CYBER ATTACKS TARGETING EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS HAS SERITYCU OFFICIALSON CCERNED ANGELS ASSOCIATED WAS HERE TO TELL US THESE ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. WELL, THAT’S EXALYCT RIGHT IN JANUARY ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOLS WERE FORCED TO CANCEL CLASSES BECAUSE OF A DISTRICT-WISE CYBER ATTACK AND MOST RECENTLY FORT SUMNER MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS WERE HIT BY A SIMILAR ATTACK THE CYBER SECURITY EXPERT I TALKED TO SAYS ATTACKS LIKE THESE ARE GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON. PEOPLE DO NEED TO BE CONCEEDRN ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF YOU KNOW, THE AMOUNT OF DATA THAT IS JUST ONLINEAC HRSKE HAVE A NEW TARGET FOR THEIR CYBER ATTACKS THE SCHOOL BY NATURE IS GOING TO VEHA SOMEWHAT SENSITIVE INFORMATION AUTBO THE STUDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE GONNA HAVE ADDRESS NAMES POSSIBLY PHOTOS THAT ARE PART OF SCHOOL IDS. TONY SAVAI IS A CYBERSECURITY EXPERT AND HE SAYS THE ATTACKS CAN COME THROUGH SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS AN EMAIL APPARENT MIGHT GET AN EMAIL FROM WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE SCHOOL OR COULD BE A BOARD MEETING OR A PTA MEETINGND A THEY’RE ATTACHING A ZOOM INVITE OR A CALENDAR INVITE OR YOU KNOW, KNOW, HEY READ THIS PDF THAT’S THAT HAPPENED AT THE SCHOOL AND THERE MAY BE MALICIOUS CODE IN THERE. SO IF I SAYS WHEN YOU GET AN EMAIL FROM YOUR CHILD’S SCHOOL DISTRI,CT MEAK SURE YOU ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THE ACTUAL EMAIL ADDRESS BECAUSE OFTEN HKEACRS CAN CHANGE THEIR DISPLAY NAMES. THAT’S WHERE A LOT OF THESE HACKSRE A IF IT EVEN LOOKS MILDLY SUSPICIOUS ALWAYS LOOK AT TH EEMAIL ADDRESSES ALWAYS LOOK AT THE SENDER’S EMAIL ADDRESS AND THROUGH THOSE EMAILS. THEY CAN INFECT YOUR COMPUTER AND STEAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU OROU YR CHILD DON’T UPLOAD UNNECESSARY INFORMATION AND WITH YOUR SCHOOL BOARDS TO MAKE SEUR THEY HAVE PROPER SECURITY CONTROLS IN PLACE. ANOTHER SUGGESTION IS TO MEAK SURE YOU’RE USING TWO-FACTOR AUTHORIZATION ON YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS. THAT MEANS YOUR EMAIL SERVER WILL GIVE YOUR CELL PHONE A CALL OR A TEXT WHENEVER SOMEONE TRIES TO LOG ON TO YOUR EMAIL ANGEL SALCED OKOIT ACTION 7 NEWS AND SHE ALSO SAYS MAKE SURE YOUR SCHOOL BOARD OR DISTRICT HAS ENOUGH MONEY GOING TOWARDS
