You missed the worst part: > ... said Scott Moulton, a Woodstock-based forensics expert hired by the attorney working on Malachi’s case. This forensics "expert" should know this.

Where does it say he doesn't? We have no idea what the logs say or how obviously wrong they may or may not appear.

There is a linked follow up article that is a bit clearer: > Moulton, who owns Forensic Strategy Services in Woodstock, also said the Zoom bombers’ local IP addresses, which pinpoint the device being used, did not match the configuration of Malachi’s router. > > Lotito said he did not think the Gwinnett County Board of Education considered Moulton’s report. It sounds like their expert did know, and explicitly pointed it out, but the findings were apparently ignored.

  Why? Who are these people accountable to? This has real world consequences to this child, is it as simple as they're fucking bastards or what?

The most charitable explanation is that they're in way over their heads technologically and concerned that incompetence will cost them their jobs if they try to do nothing. But I'm having difficulty finding a charitable explanation that respects the harm being wrong here can do to the 6th grader.

    > Who are these people accountable to? I mean, this is exactly why we have civil litigation. I suppose the fly in the ointment is that it’s going to be hard to find anyone individually responsible, so it’s likely that the taxpayer would end up footing the bill.

    > Why? Who are these people accountable to? This has real world consequences to this child, is it as simple as they're fucking bastards or what? It's possible; personally I think they're just massively uncomfortable saying to parents "anyone on the internet has access to your children via online classes, they're using it to broadcast objectionable content to your children, and we don't have an idea of how to solve it". It's possible they're just ignorant. It's also possible that they're awful people and are using him as a scapegoat because "a classmate said horrible things" probably worries parents a lot less than "some random stranger is breaking into online classrooms and saying horrible things". It also lets them imply that suspending him will make the Zoom bombing stop.

  That doesn't seem to say anything about NAT from the provider. That to me is saying the Zoom desktop client recorded some info about the perpetrator's computer and Malachi's computer, and they don't match.
