A messaging app for parents and teachers said Wednesday that it was hacked after some parents said they had received messages with an explicit photo that is infamous on the internet.
School districts in Illinois, New York, Oklahoma and Texas all said Wednesday that the photo was sent through the app, Seesaw, to parents and teachers in private chats.
Seesaw, which, according to its website, is used by 10 million teachers, students and family members, declined to say how many users were affected.
In an emailed statement, its vice president of marketing, Sunniya Saleem, said that “specific user accounts were compromised by an outside actor” and that “we are taking this extremely seriously.”
