Fraudlent E-mail Causes Erroneous HR School Closure Alert

Someone sent a fradulent e-mail in the name of Hood River County School District Superintendent Dan Goldman to the company that sends out school closure notices, leading to a false alert being sent Tuesday morning.  Subscribers to the Flash Alert system received an erroneous notification that Hood River County Schools were closed just after 7 a.m.  Goldman says the message, which was retracted by Flash Alert around 7:30 a.m., caused some confusion in the district.  Goldman noted to send such a fraudulent e-mail using another person’s identity is a federal crime, and the district would be working with the FBI’s Internet Crimes unit to find the source of the e-mail.
