We have been supporting some of our students who have found that their social media platforms have been hacked and we wanted to share the guidance more widely to help both students and our wider families.
This is a serious problem and links in with the wider issue of identity threat so it is something everyone should be aware of and be proactive in preventing it happening to them.
The easiest way of protecting yourself is related to authentication when you sign into your accounts and you can get further guidance here.
Further details are available from ‘Which’ here.
Matt Allman, Headteacher, said: “We use this system for staff accessing their emails at home and it prevents risks of hacking extremely well. It can be a bit of a pain to connect but it is well worth mitigating the risk.”
