A group of students hacked their school website so their parents could not find out a message assuring parents that it will remain open despite snowfall. The Jewish Free School posted the message on its website after snowfall began in Harrow, in northwest London
Just to make sure they wouldn't get sent to school, the hackers are then said to have sent a fake email purporting to come from the school and telling parents that the school would be closed because of the heavy snow.

The email even provided a link to a cloned version of the school's website.
According to the Jewish Chronicle many older pupils stayed away from the school on the following Monday, owing to the success of the hack and the spreading of the fake email.
The school has identified a number of pupils it believes are behind the website's hacking and at least one pupil has been suspended.
