Episode 2 - K-12 Schooling

In the second episode of "Cybersecurity In The Modern World", we talk about K-12 schooling systems and how cyber criminals have focused their attention to attack these institutions. We talk about hackers’ motivations, and the various attack tactics, such as crypto mining, ransomware and phishing attacks. Keith Kruger, CEO of a ed-tech non profit, and Jeff Pelzel, superintendent of Newhall School District, in Santa Clarita, California, are some of the professionals featured in this episode. They provided some great insight into this topic, as they talked about real situations where schools were hacked, and Superintendent Pelzel gave his firsthand experience on what he did after his own school district was hit with a cyber attack.
