Cyberattack: Houston-area school district investigates troubling messages sent during technology breach

Posted on March 8, 2021 by Dissent

As if Texas didn’t have enough problems already…

Tierra Smith reports:

Magnolia ISD is responding to a technology breach that occurred Sunday afternoon, school officials confirmed.

The district said the breach of unauthorized messages included social media, text messages, emails and phone calls.

Many of the alleged messages, some of which were racist and directly threatened students at Magnolia High School, were shared widely on social media.
