Thionville. The Hélène-Boucher school complex victim of a computer hack

Tuesday, January 18, 8 a.m. A new burst of false messages has appeared on the internal digital portal of the Hélène-Boucher school complex in Thionville. “Happy New Year to all my shegueys (combatants, Editor’s note). I invoke my right to resign, too many wankers…”. Words, accompanied by many colorful smileys, signed by the headteacher Véronique Demmer. Except that, of course, she is not the author.

Since the beginning of the month, one or more hackers have taken control of the Digital Workspace (ENT) of the school district, the portal where all the information for middle and high school students is disseminated. The author(s) had access to the identifiers, passwords and even confidential information of all users, including students, teachers and administrative staff. Hackers broadcast this sensitive data to everyone. “It’s not the first time,” said a high school student. “On Sunday January 2, we received a message from the headteacher saying that the start of the school year was postponed to Tuesday. Thanks to parents of students, we learned that it was false and therefore that his account had been hacked. At this time, the author(s) have not been identified.
