KnowBe4: Protecting Yourself from Phishing Attacks
Please read the following message from Amanda Kavanagh.
Recently, the District subscribed to a service called KnowBe4 which focuses on limiting our vulnerability when it comes to malicious email. To that end, this service sends out simulated phishing emails and provides data as to how many people in our District have opened the mail, clicked on the links, and entered data.
On our initial baseline, 236 people in our District opened the phishing email. Of those 83 people clicked on the link and 34 people entered their Google account credentials.
Real phishing emails hit our filters every day. We have a sophisticated system that blocks thousands of threats, but there will be times when something gets through. That is when we have to rely on our users to be smarter than these criminals.
The District will be adding a phishing reporting button to Outlook. In the event that you think that you are being “phished,” please report it using the button in Outlook. Never click on any links from senders that you do not know. Even if you know the sender, there is the possibility that their account may have been compromised. Never enter your username and password into any site that comes from an email link.

Crazy for Classcraft
Classcraft is a behavior management program that allows students to create their own medieval avatars. Students’ characters gain points for work accomplished in class. For example, participating, helping a friend, or handing in assignments can help their characters to gain experience. The more experience they have, the more their characters are able to help them do within the classroom (sit in a desirable spot, choose an activity, etc.). Classcraft helps to make each day in the classroom a new and exciting experience, and kids are motivated to be a part of that experience more than ever before. Parents learned about Classcraft during Mr. Hronec and Mrs. Gorelin's presentation at Tacos and Talking.
