Pro-ISIS video appears on school's hacked website

Updated

The FBI is investigating after a pro-ISIS video was displayed on about 800 school and district websites all over the country for about two hours on Monday.

SchoolDesk, the company that hosts these websites, said in a statement that it was hacked. That caused the websites to redirect to a YouTube page containing an audible Arabic message, unknown writing and a picture of Saddam Hussein.

The New Jersey Bloomfield school district says the video was up for about two hours before it was taken down.

SchoolDesk says it has added more protections to stop events like this from occurring in the future.
