Classroom app Seesaw abused to send 'inappropriate image'

Reminder, don't reuse passwords: Credential stuffing used to share dirty pic via school app

Parents and teachers received a link to an"inappropriate image" this week via Seesaw after miscreants hijacked accounts in a credential stuffing attack against the popular school messaging app.

Late Tuesday, attackers used stolen credentials to take over some Seesaw accounts and send a private message to other users with a link to a dirty pic, he said."Less than 0.5 percent of users were affected," the chief exec added. The miscreants, we're told, used credential stuffing: typically this is where you get someone's username and password leaked or stolen from one site, and use the same combo on other sites, in hope that the victim has reused the username and password pair over and over to keep their life simple. It's why you should use a unique, complex password per online account, and use a decent password manager to handle it all.
