Are the Boston suburbs on the front lines of the cyber war?

The Internet has been down at the middle school in the Boston suburbs where my wife teaches math; she has been unable to post any examination results. The reason: a Denial of Service attack emanating primarily from the Islamic Republic of Iran. (see memo below) Lest there be any doubt, the entire school district, including the PTA and the maintenance staff, are united in refusing in advance to accede to any Iranian demands, should they be presented.
