Crowdfund Request: Round Rock ISD Hacking Incident 2013 (Round Rock ISD)

Share Embed Help

In December of 2013, websites and emails owned by Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD), located in the Greater Austin, TX area, were hacked by numerous individuals supposedly from Reddit and 4Chan, among other websites. While the media covered the initial portion of the incident (namely, the websites being hacked and warnings from RRISD officials), there weren’t any follow-ups from the media or from RRISD and its affiliated schools.

2,998 emails were shown to be responsive to my FOIA request surrounding the 2013 hacking of RRISD – help cover the request fees needed to free these docs!

No backers yet. Be the first!

$0.00 raised out of $443.09.
