Northern Ireland Schools Hit by Cyberattack, Rush to Fix Before Classes

0:00I'm Corey, with the story. That's your Europe News Today update, AI-powered and always on. Schools in Northern Ireland just got hit with a cyber attack on their main IT system called C2K, and now they're rushing to fix it before classes. Restart. The education authority is telling every school, from primary to post-primary, to reset passwords right away, to reconnect accounts, and give back, online. This outage messed with email and key services last week over the Easter break, leaving kids prepping for exams totally locked out. The authority already said sorry for the hassle, and C2K handles curriculum stuff through a network run by Capita. Managers at each school need to call the service desk at 0800-1931541. It's open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through, the weekend to kick off those resets for staff and students. Without it, term starts with zero access to basics. Recovery is underway, but schools got to move fast to dodge more chaos.
