Bad Bunny Song Interrupts Classes on Remote Digital Screens Across Andalusia

Officials say vendor technicians in Canada are reviewing system logs to determine whether remote-management misconfiguration or an external intrusion caused the disruptions.

Overview

  • Teachers in multiple Andalusian provinces reported that digital classroom screens suddenly played a Bad Bunny song and displayed the message "A petición de Irene," replacing lesson content and causing confusion.
  • The disruption first occurred on Thursday at about 10:00 and teachers said a similar incident recurred on Friday at roughly 10:10 with audio lasting under a minute.
  • Andalusian education authorities have confirmed the incidents were detected across several centres and opened an investigation into the cause without ruling out either a human administrator error or a hack.
  • Technicians from the screen supplier, reported to be in Canada, are analysing logs and remote-management settings while school directors say they received no formal notice and learned about the events from the press and director networks.
  • The case highlights how centrally managed classroom displays and third-party vendor access can widen schools’ technical attack surface and raises questions about operational controls and official communication procedures.
