Secret wiretapping found in Moscow schools. It turned out that the school boards are recording conversations between children and teachers. One of the teachers in Moscow discovered a program on interactive whiteboards that can unwittingly turn on the microphone, record what is happening in the classroom and send audio files to the servers of the Department of Information Technology in the capital. The software has been installed remotely since August 2026. It checks the server commands every ten minutes, and after the recording deletes the audio file from the device. However, students and teachers do not receive notifications. The most interesting thing is that the program was originally called "Agent for audio recording of a lesson. " Later it was renamed to the more innocent "The agent ensures that the lesson will be conducted". According to Mediazona, traces of the facility were found in at least three schools. The publication's source claims that the recordings were designed to be analyzed using AI to check the content of the lessons. It is Moscow that did not respond to requests from journalists. The extent of use of the system and the further fate of the records remain unknown. In Russia, even a school board can now turn out to be a whistleblower.
