Local schools are increasingly falling victim to cyberattacks such as ransomware and phishing, which disrupt classes and compromise personal data. As digital tools become more integral to education, these institutions are prime targets due to outdated infrastructure and limited cybersecurity measures. Apple security alert scams, which mimic legitimate warnings to steal personal information, are a growing concern. Schools must enhance cybersecurity awareness and resilience through staff training and early threat detection. Community involvement, including educating parents and students on digital threats, is essential for building a robust defense. With proactive measures and collaboration, schools can better protect their networks and students from evolving cyber threats.
