\n

Parents in the US have reported receiving an infamously explicit image after hackers targeted a school app with 10 million users including teachers, students and family members.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There have been many reports from schools and teachers about the image being sent from hacked accounts on the Seesaw app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Seesaw said a link to an “inappropriate image” was shared and action was taken to fix the issue. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The graphic image is a very explicit internet meme meant to shock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Someone who works with teachers and students told Seesaw via Twitter, “They have a hack in Messages that allows an inappropriate image to be shared with families and teachers in multiple districts. Please take action!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In his statement, Seesaw denied that hackers gained administrative access but instead hacked “siloed” individual accounts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It shared more details about the attack and its response to it on a status page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Widespread compromised emails\/passwords reused across services were used to gain unauthorized access to Seesaw accounts,” it said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some parents told US media that they were horrified when the picture appeared in group chats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The head of a Milwaukee school warned parents not to blame those who appeared to have sent the message.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Although specific parents’ names were attached to these messages,” the school’s statement said, “we know those parents were not involved.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Seesaw said in response to the incident:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
    \n
  • The messaging feature has been completely disabled to prevent other users from seeing the inappropriate message<\/li>\n
  • removed the inappropriate message from the accounts to which it was sent<\/li>\n
  • Reset the passwords of all compromised accounts and notified users <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Many schools sent out warnings about clicking on links obscured by bit.ly – a link shortening service. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Seesaw said it worked using bit.ly to disable the links.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
