Porn shown by hacker

AN UNKNOWN hacker hijacked an all-school assembly and streamed a pornographic video at a high school in Melbourne’s southeast, prompting security fears.

The Department of Education has launched an investigation into how the hacker was able to show what is understood to be a sexually explicit clip in the middle of Alkira Secondary College’s online student assembly on Monday.

In a letter sent to the school community, acting principal Nalini Naidu said the Cranbourne North school would offer parents and students support after the “extremely regrettable” incident.

The full extent of the pornographic content is not known, but Ms Naidu attempted to end the communal Zoom meeting as soon as it became compromised.

“We immediately ended the assembly,” she said.
