  2. Cyber Attacks on School Networks Increasing Digital Education - Education Week, September 23, 2013 "We have to be prepared and understand the environment that we are operating in so we're prepared to address these issues as they come up," Eric Creighton said. "What I understand from what I've seen is that [DDoS attacks are] a commonality now," said the Kentucky department's chief information officer, David Couch. "The change that would do the most right now would be awareness of the issue, and potentially federal funds to help schools buy equipment and train network people,” Marcus Rogers, a professor and chair of the cyber forensics program at Purdue University, in Indiana
