Thousands of Edinburgh pupils were forced to attend school on Saturday after a phishing attack disrupted access to vital online learning resources.
The cyber incident, discovered on Friday, prompted officials to lock users out of the system as a precaution, just days before exams.
Approximately 2,500 students visited secondary schools to reset passwords and restore their access. Although the revision period was interrupted, the council confirmed that no personal data had been compromised.
Scottish Council staff acted swiftly to contain the threat, supported by national cyber security teams. Ongoing monitoring is in place, with authorities confident that exam schedules will continue unaffected.
