Today the window for NWEA testing is opening. Many students will be partaking in this important and informative assessment. Naturally, with something new, there are lots of concerns about how things work and what the process is. This is true anytime that we do new things.
On September 25th, NWEA experienced a DDoS attack. This affected the ability of every user of the NWEA system (not just Dearborn). The attack lasted the afternoon of the 25th. All access has been restored. A police report has been filed with the FBI Cyber Crime unit. Additional computer forensic specialists have been brought in to identify the source of the attack and recommend any additional measures that NWEA should implement.
Testing seems to be going well currently.
Thanks
