A former IT support worker for Saydel Community School District deliberately sabotaged district systems over a ~20-month period, harvesting more than 300 user credentials and deleting accounts and management data across Facebook, Apple School Manager, GoDaddy, Google/Gmail, and the PowerSchool-based Schoology platform. The attacks caused teacher lockouts and classroom disruption, forced collaboration with vendors (including Apple) to restore services, and produced roughly $101.3K in combined district and insurer costs; the employee was indicted, pleaded guilty, and sentenced.
