Developed by 4Chan-affiliated hackers, it basically did for DDoS attacks what Microsoft Word did for word processors by streamlining the process into an easy-to-download program that even an idiot can\u2019t mess up. No hacking experience needed, just point, click, and boom! You\u2019re on your way to committing a felony. LOIC makes it easy to coordinate thousands of anonymous users to overwhelm servers by submitting tons of garbage requests en masse. Barrett Lyon, the CEO of cybersecurity firm Netography, said in an interview with the Herald that it\u2019s essentially the \u201cmodern-day equivalent\u201d of pulling a school\u2019s fire alarm.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bxm4mm-18 cvqPqY\" readability=\"2.8571428571429\">\n<div class=\"sc-1to1lfh-0 jOjbvO js_commerce-inset-permalink\" data-inset-url=\"https:\/\/comixology.sjv.io\/c\/379647\/402490\/7303?subId1=-&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.comixology.com%2Fsearch%2Fitems%3Fsearch%3Dblack%2Bpanther%26subType%3DSINGLE_ISSUES\" readability=\"3.3333333333333\">\n<p>G\/O Media may get a commission<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">In the past, the hacktivist group Anonymous used LOIC to launch Operation Payback, <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 hMndXN sc-145m8ut-0 kVnoAv js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/fbi-arrests-16-in-anonymous-hacking-investigation&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/fbi-arrests-16-in-anonymous-hacking-investigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a series<\/a><\/span> <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 hMndXN sc-145m8ut-0 kVnoAv js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2012\/nov\/22\/anonymous-cyber-attacks-paypal-court&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2012\/nov\/22\/anonymous-cyber-attacks-paypal-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">of DDoS attacks<\/a><\/span> that took down sites belonging to PayPal, MasterCard, and a slew of other companies, government agencies, and politicians in retaliation for the shutdown of the Pirate Bay file-sharing site and censorship of Wikileaks. That was back in the early 2010s, though, and cybersecurity standards have changed a <em>lot<\/em> since then, leading many to question why the district\u2019s online learning platform, My School Online, wasn\u2019t able to withstand such an unsophisticated attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">The incident\u2019s brought K12, the for-profit education tech company behind My School Online, under intense scrutiny from both parents and authorities. That concern only worsened when it came to light this week that the district\u2019s $15 million contract with K12 hasn\u2019t yet been fully executed, as it\u2019s missing a signature of approval from district Superintendent Alberto Carvalho.

Authorities said he\u2019s been charged as a juvenile offender with computer use in an attempt to defraud, a felony offense, and interference with an educational institution, which is a misdemeanor. Comcast, the district\u2019s internet provider, was also served a subpoena earlier this week. A court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 8, and the FBI is assisting in the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
