These sophisticated schemes now leverage AI to craft highly convincing messages, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive student and school data. The tactics appear to exploit vulnerabilities in widely used educational technology platforms, raising concerns about the security of personal and academic records. Experts warn that the integration of AI in such attacks marks a significant escalation in cyber threats against schools.
