On the learning platform of a primary school in Abensberg in the Bavarian district of Kelheim, strangers recorded various videos.

On Tuesday lunchtime, around 25 schoolchildren got to see the several minutes long “irrelevant video sequences” during a class chat.

This was announced by the Lower Bavaria police headquarters in Straubing.

As a result, the videos were played when the children were taking part in a chat session in their class during distance lessons.

In the films there are said to have been verbal insults against students and their parents.

According to the police, after initial descriptions, porn and right-wing content were also shown.

However, this has not yet been verified.

The police are now investigating, among other things, for insult.

After the incident, the school installed a security update to prevent further external access to the learning chats.
