These can be obtained by exploiting known vulnerabilities in internet-facing applications or via phishing campaigns leading users to malicious webpages requesting login information. Threat actors can use stolen credentials to distribute phishing emails to the user’s contacts to gain additional account credentials for further network intrusion.
What does this mean for you? Be aware. Report suspicious emails. Ask questions. Working together we can best protect the district from these attacks.

Holiday Advice: Avoid Using Public Wi-Fi
While using public Wi-Fi is convenient, it is not secure. Public Wi-Fi does not protect your sensitive data, and Cyber threat actors, bad guys, may access your personal and financial information.
- Abstain from using public Wi-Fi at all costs while purchasing and placing orders.
- Confirm that you do not allow the "Connect automatically" Wi-Fi network preference on any of your devices.
