A recent survey found that found high numbers of K-12 teachers are unfamiliar with the various forms of cyberattacks. For example, 48 percent of K-12 educators said they had no familiarity with "videobombing." Likewise, the same percentage said they didn't know what denial-of-service attacks were. Four in 10 (41 percent) were unfamiliar with ransomware attacks. More K-12 educators knew something about data breaches (75 percent) and phishing scams (79 percent), but these results show that parents cannot depend on schools and teachers to be up on the latest in cybersecurity threats, and may need to take the responsibility of making their children aware.
