Alkira Secondary College online student assembly interrupted by hacker’s porn stream

A hacker disrupted a Melbourne high school’s online assembly, streaming pornography to hundreds of shocked students and staff.

An investigation is underway into how an unknown hacker streamed a pornographic video to an all-school assembly at a high school in Melbourne’s southeast.

The unknown person began streaming what is believed to be a sexually explicit clip in the middle of an online student assembly held by Alkira Secondary College on Monday.

But the words “we are two steps ahead … you won’t catch us” followed the video on the screens of everyone who dialled into the assembly.

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

“During assembly an unknown person interrupted the session and briefly screened a highly inappropriate video,” she said.

“We immediately ended the assembly.

“The Department of Education is working with us to determine how this occurred and to establish the identity of the intruder.”

A Department of Education spokesman confirmed an investigation into how someone was able to hack the meeting was underway.

“We are treating this incident seriously and are supporting the school to determine how this occurred,” he said.

It is not the first time the Cranbourne North school has been plagued by online hackers.

It is understood an unknown person used the school’s email system to advise parents of the death of the school principal, which did not occur.
