Des Moines Public Schools cancels Tuesday classes after cybersecurity attack

Posted on January 9, 2023 by Dissent

Samantha Hernandez reports:

Des Moines Public Schools has canceled all classes for Tuesday after officials took the district’s internet and network offline Monday morning following what they described as “unusual activity” that was later determined to be an apparent cybersecurity attack.

The district issued an announcement Monday afternoon saying offices will be open but staff may be working remotely and services limited.

Update: Classes were also canceled for a second day.

    Can’t wait for the kids to figure out that triggering a false positive will be more effective than calling in a bomb threat to avoid a test or otherwise get a day off.
