Escambia School District’s Website Hacked

September 22, 2009

Hackers defaced the main website of the Escambia County School District, forcing officials to take the site down for several hours on Monday.

The person or persons that got into the district’s website left behind music and anti-Muslim phrases on the main page, prompting the district’s information technology department to take the site offline. By early Tuesday morning, the site had been returned to service.

Officials say that confidential information and student records were not compromised in the attack.

Individual school websites — such as those for Northview High, Ernest Ward Middle, Bratt Elementary and Molino Park Elementary schools — were not impacted.
