No Link, No Attachment, No Problem: How Modern Attacks Slip into School Inboxes
October 6th, at 1:00 PM ET | Sponsored by Abnormal AI
School districts run on email. It's how staff coordinate, how vendors get paid, and how families stay in the loop—and attackers know it. The threats causing the most damage in K-12 today rarely carry a malicious link or attachment. Instead, they impersonate a superintendent asking for a wire transfer, a vendor updating banking details, or an HR portal requesting a password. Because there's nothing technically "bad" to scan for, these messages slip past the filters most districts rely on.
This session walks through the attacks K-12 schools are actually seeing, using real examples of business email compromise, account takeover, and payroll fraud. Abnormal AI will break down how each attack works in plain terms, why traditional defenses miss it, and what school leaders can do about it right now. You'll leave with concrete steps you can put in place before the next attempt lands.
Join this session to see what's targeting your district and how to stop it.
