People do forget Oz because he is just so quiet! But yes I agree that they would known only to a few hackers, a way to bridge that elite with those at the school would be two oriental guys whose name I don't remeber but seem to be pretty elite and know virtually everyone. Oz and Willow would have their contacts in the internet world to keep themselves up to date but only with those of the highest caliber and be virtually unknown except for their tendency to use exoteric nicknames and do impossible things with a keyboard and a goal.
I am completely out of the Buffy cannon loop and still kind of confused by what happened after the series so we are in the same boat cannon wise.
I think Riley might eb high up but not head of his supernatural department but his relation with the slayer and the way they've stopped a few apocalypses might have given him some clout and help in his career as an experienced hand on the subject.
I sometimes wonder if after the Sunnydale fiasco if some kind of deal was struck between the Government and the reformed Council, since I don't think there is any cannon about that the playground is completely free!
They would so confront them and the hackes would have totally understimaded the short musician who came to town recently and the sweet teacher. And when tehy are confronted by the two they get a little cocky and don't really awnser and so their computers all crash while two try figure out the link between the evil doer and high school kids.
Who they know not to understimate after living in Sunnydale, especially those who can be a little geeky after the scrapes Andrew and Co. used to get into.
I like your premise as to why Willow is there teaching, and Oz can have been brought around as back up or means of protection because no one else could be spared and they have to keep Red from magic for a while.
How they would save the two is a difficult question especially because it has to be computer related as a Wolf and Witch hardly would need assistance from the hackers in the physical plane... maybe after the transport a capture? or realizing that the colonel who has arrested them is using fake evidences they'd created to arrest the two and use them to further his agenda? so they need to track where the two would be taken and errase or replace or governamental files dealing with what is taking place while exposing the colonel for what he is?

Loved the little adendum at the end
