Nursery hackers threaten to publish more children’s profiles online
A group of hackers has targeted several nursery schools, threatening to publish more children’s profiles online if their demands are not met. The cyberattack took place last week on Wednesday, at the Little Angels Nursery in downtown Metropolis. The hackers, who remain unidentified, gained access to the nursery’s database containing sensitive information about the children and their families.
The hackers have demanded a ransom of $100,000 in Bitcoin to prevent the release of the data. In a statement released on a hacking forum, the group justified their actions as a means to expose vulnerabilities in the nursery school’s online security systems. They claim that they have already leaked a small portion of the information as proof of their capabilities.
The nursery school, on the other hand, has refused to negotiate with the hackers, stating that they are working closely with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement agencies to address the situation. The director of Little Angels Nursery, Mrs. Johnson, expressed deep concern for the privacy and safety of the children and their families, reassuring them that every measure is being taken to protect their data.
Parents of the children attending the nursery have been urged to be vigilant and cautious about any suspicious activities involving their personal information. The local authorities have also issued a warning to other nursery schools in the area to strengthen their cybersecurity measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring.
As the situation unfolds, the community is left on edge, waiting to see whether the hackers will follow through on their threat to release more children’s profiles online. Concerns about data privacy and cybersecurity have been reignited, highlighting the importance of robust online security measures in educational institutions.
