Boy arrested over cyber attack on UK school IT system

What happened: A boy was arrested after a cyber attack targeted the C2K IT system used by schools at the start of the Easter break.

Why it matters:

  • The attack disrupted the IT services relied on by many schools in Northern Ireland.
  • Students, teachers, and school administrators experienced interruptions to their online learning and communication tools.

MNN Take: The C2K system is a key digital platform for schools, so any disruption can significantly affect education delivery and administration.
