Help! Our School’s Website Was Hacked…

Sounds scary, right? Not to mention lost data on the dark web, conversations with parents and students, crucial systems not working for weeks, lost grades, tasks, double work everyone needs to do and so on…

So what happens, when your website is hacked and what can you do to prevent it?

Let’s begin with how schools think websites are hacked. Some evil programmers in the dark basement are analyzing your schools’ website, plotting and planning how to break everything. When we think like that, it is easy to dismiss this thought and say, “who cares about our school that much, so they would come to hack it’s website?”.

Though, usually it’s quite the opposite. Hackers don’t choose victims, they don’t plan or analyze. They simply send as many emails as they can to random institutions and wait for someone to make a mistake and click their link. Simple as that!

This way pretty much anyone can become a target.
