Texas Teens Hack School District’s Network, Forge False Bomb Report

Two male students at Midway High School in Waco allegedly posted a screenshot of a falsified administrative document warning families about potential violence at the school.

The boys, 15 and 16, hacked into the school district’s online information portal and created a bogus document with an administrator’s signature.

The boys then took a screenshot of the document, posted it on social media and deleted the original document.

District officials fielded about 200 calls regarding the post after it appeared on a Tuesday. The message told students to stay home from school the next day because of threats of violence between classes on Tuesday and Wednesday.
