DeKalb County School District

DeKalb County School District

DeKalb County School District in Georgia suffered a hacking incident after the computer account of a 10-year-old student got hacked.

The hacker logged into the account and did some extremely offensive comments from the id as well as tried to disrupt the Google classroom several times.

The school always used the same password for the whole class, so it got easy for them to hack the account.

The school immediately took action and changed passwords for the students.
