This is a lengthy read, but one you NEED to make time for if you are involved with information security in K12. Great work from @markkeierleber.bsky.social #k12cyber
Schools have faced an onslaught of cyberattacks since the pandemic disrupted education nationwide five years ago. District leaders across the country have employed a pervasive pattern of obfuscation that leaves the real victims in the dark. @wired.com @markkeierleber.bsky.social report
