BOTHELL, Wash. – Northshore School District officials are scrambling to provide answers to thousands of angry parents after student email accounts were spammed with emails about pornography, drugs, sex and violence.

“I was really shocked, and I didn’t know what to think,” parent Tammi Dillon told Fox Q13. “I just worry if they can do that, can they get into kids’ transcripts, what other damage can they do.”

District officials sent out multiple messages to students and parents over the weekend about a school email breech that resulted in roughly 9,000 middle school and high school students receiving inappropriate messages laced with profanity and references to sex and drugs. The emails also contained links to porn sites, according to Fox Q 13.

In the district’s last message on Monday, officials told parents that no student information was compromised, and they were still investigating to determine how spammers gained access to student email account information. Officials said they shut down student email accounts, which are run through Google’s Gmail service, but hope to restore access to the accounts today, KOMO reports.

“What happened was that someone figured out that they could message literally everyone in the district and signed various people up for accounts on porn sites, spammed pornography, spammed group chats and added people to strange conversations,” Dillon’s daughter, 15-year-old Bothell High School student Dani Dillon, told Fox Q13.

Bothell sophomore Jack Gagnon was not impressed by the massive spamming.

“It’s pretty immature; obviously there are kids of lower ages that really should not be seeing this,” he said. “It goes way too far.”

The incident, of course, sparked a lively debate online.

“It wasn’t a hack,” Erocl Freligh posted to Facebook. “Someone sent an email that exposed junior high and high school school-wide distribution list aliases. Someone then signed-up those aliases for accounts on Pornhub, etc. The real issue is that NSD didn’t lock those distribution lists to restricted senders.”

“Right Erick, doesn’t sound like a hack at all, just poorly secured distribution lists which demonstrates a lack of understand of basic security practices by school administration staff,” Lee Storgaard added.

“This is one of many reasons why my children do not have email accounts and are not on social media,” Anne Skott wrote.

Skott also alleged the inappropriate emails were not restricted to junior and high school students.

“Whatever it was, it wasn’t only aimed at jr high and high school,” she wrote. “I was districtwide. Younger grades were affected too.”

Others, like Jason Clower, didn’t see what the big fuss was about.

“Ridiculous,” he posted. “If they can get on the internet, they are already looking at porn. God forbid they actually get sex ed at school.”
