Waupaca Computer System Hacked

“On May 13 the school district’s computer systems crashed. The WiFi was down, the phones and printers were down, the phone system did not work and students could not log into their Schoology portal. Even the bell system that rings for the end of class periods was dysfunctional. “

“The Waupaca School Board convened a special meeting on Thursday, May 30 to discuss what the school has referred to as the recent “internet disruption.” “

“When asked by the Waupaca County Post if the school system was hacked and being held for ransom the board replied, “At this point we’re limited to what we can say.” “
