This is concerning. Especially with all of the issues with Blackboard today.

I wonder what they got. I guess another couple of years of free credit monitoring

Ugh. It doesn't specify what kind of data they got and uploaded - is it personal identifying information on our kids and ourselves?

Mostly agree. Our teachers were fantastic. Not sure who at each school made the decision which platform to use, as our Google meets kid is still fine.

Whay does this mean for students? Do we need to be concerned about anything?

The students are asked to post photos and even videos. Does that mean our kids' images could be anywhere?

I wonder when FCPS plans to let parents know about this?

Yes, I know of several other major companies that were recently hacked by these people. They're criminals. What is the FBI doing about them?
