  3. Criminal hackers are attacking everyone and stealing from everyone.

  4. So scared, my son is registered to K-12

  5. Maybe we should just pull the plug on the internet as it is now.

  6. Political extremism/propaganda in highschool is nothing new. It started as cheating for test answers. Now they’ve realized they can shut down schools and swing local elections with the 18 vote.

  7. The problem is when these hackers are caught they are not punished harsh enough and most are overseas with laws that protect them

  8. OK, UNITED STATES! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS!?! 🤔🤔🤔

  9. Leave our kids alone 😡🤬

  10. Well this the thing, Merica Intuitively amazes Figures Upon Reteric…

  15. This really amazes me that these hackers are targeting schools. Like seriously?! How dead inside are you to do this to KIDS, TEACHERS??!

  16. The Trumpies assure me the schools are just Marxist liberal trans indoctrination centers, so why worry?

  17. I am in 7th grade. I am so scared that this will happen to my school

  18. It's Arabs doing this! Notice that any city that has a large Arabic population without a doubt top these lists

  19. Yet companies don’t invest in cybersecurity woooty doo

  20. This is really scary for the kids and schools . We must keep kids safe

  21. OMG u guys just relised that we try to hack our schools?

  23. The hackers want us to be dumb, we are not robots

  24. How bout they hack in and out some money on my kids lunch accounts.

  25. How great. Hackers targeting the future lives of our generations.

  26. The government under Biden should warn Americans against far left liberal Attorneys General releasing criminals so that they may continue their crime spree against WE THE PEOPLE.

  27. WOW THIS IS ONE WE MUST GET TO WORK ON IF WE AREN'T ALREADY.

  28. No room for real news when royal family turns over the odometer.

  29. Start putting thumb prints on SS cards, licenses, birth certificates, and making people put a thumb print on all paper work for loans & such, in front of whomever requires that print. If it comes back as not theirs, there ya go.

  30. Red alert! US Supreme Court agreed to hear State Legislature's right to determine elections outcomes lawsuit! Vote blue while your vote counts.
