SCAM ALERT!!! Hackers trying to steal Silver Falls user logins

An administrator account for the Silver Falls School District has been compromised, and this morning a mass phishing email was sent from the account.

The email came from Superintendent/Board Secretary Debbie Valoff's account and contained a link to a page titled "Silver Falls School District Invoices" which in turn linked victims to a false Microsoft login page.

Any usernames or passwords entered into the login page were likely stolen by the scammers and should be considered compromised. Potential victims should immediately reset passwords for these accounts and turn on two-factor authentication if they have not already.

Valoff said the district is aware of the hack and is working with IT to resolve the issue.
