London: A group of
students hacked their school website so their parents could not
find out a message assuring parents that it will remain open
despite snowfall.
The Jewish Free School posted the message on its website after
snowfall began in Harrow, in northwest London, Feb 4, Daily Mail
reported Saturday.
Just to make sure they wouldn’t get sent to school, the hackers
are then said to have sent a fake email purporting to come from
the school and telling parents that the school would be closed
because of the heavy snow.
The email even provided a link to a cloned version of the school’s
website.
According to the Jewish Chronicle many older pupils stayed away
from the school on the following Monday, owing to the success of
the hack and the spreading of the fake email.
The school has identified a number of pupils it believes are
behind the website’s hacking and at least one pupil has been
suspended.
