Cyber Attacks

Is this a problem in other parts of the country? In the past week cyber attacks have shut down government in the county where Albuquerque is located causing all office to be closed, no business conducted. Then last night the same thing happened to the school district, the largest in the state. School is closed for the rest of the week, maybe longer.

This is really a low blow when both government and education are in such chaos. Can life get any more difficult for these people?

I'm just wondering if this is happening other places.

Happening in other places? Yes, and has been much worse than the present.

We are seeing nasty things happen during online board meetings, city council meetings, and other online meetings. People somehow get access to meetings and scream racial comments, political comments, and insults. People need to grow up!
