several middle and high schools closed Monday morning after “malicious messages”

Several Alsatian middle and high schools are closed this Monday morning after “malicious messages”reports France Bleu Alsace.

For example, in Haut-Rhin, the Bartholdi high school is closed as a precaution due to a “malicious message” received on the My digital office platform, which is used for exchanges between teachers, parents and students. The police must carry out checks, for a resumption of classes normally scheduled for 1:40 p.m.

In Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin), the Kléber middle school closed its doors after eight o’clock. Staff and students already on site had to be evacuated.

These closures take place in a tense context. More than 150 high schools and colleges in Hauts-de-France and Île-de-France have in fact received threats of attack after their digital workspaces (ENT) were hacked since the middle of last week.
