Highline Public Schools addresses computer hack with a FAQ

Posted on September 13, 2024 by Dissent

Highline Public Schools issued an FAQ about the cybersecurity incident they first detected September 7. The incident resulted in school closures for Monday through Wednesday, but classes resumed yesterday.

Their FAQ was last updated on Wednesday.

You can read the FAQs on the district’s site. While it asks a number of questions, it declines to answer or comment on a lot of them at this time.
