Mar 9, 2021 National Guard Helping High School With Cyberattack
(Wilkes-Barre, PA) The Pennsylvania National Guard Cyber Division is being called to help the Hanover Area Junior Senior High School after a cyberattack. Officials say last week the school s network was shutdown by heavy traffic, which they believe was caused by receiving cyberattacks every 27 minutes. The issue was impacting students ability to get online and engage in remote learning. The National Guard will be at the school all week to sift through the network and detect any issues they can find. Officials don t believe there has been a security breach at this time.
A toll-free phone number at which the public may make appointments for a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at Hanover Area Junior-Senior High School this week will go live Monday morning.
The phone number, 1-800-753-8827, will not work prior to Monday morning, according to an email sent Sunday from the office of state Sen. John Yudichak, I-14, Swoyersville.
Wal-Mart will host the vaccine clinic at the high school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Hanover Area Superintendent Nathan Barrett said over the weekend.
Those who wish to register for the clinic are asked to call the toll-free number listed above and not to contact the high school.
