Was this a ransomware attack?

The filing does not say ransomware was involved. We do not label an incident ransomware unless the company’s report says so. Whatever the cause, the steps to protect yourself and the legal question are the same.

What we know

Hermiston School District is an educational institution responsible for the administration of K-12 learning environments and the management of sensitive student and personnel records. As part of its standard operations, the district collects and maintains significant amounts of personal information, including academic records, student identification data, and employee payroll or benefits documentation. In 2025, the district officially reported a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized access to their systems occurred. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from the district, it indicates that your personal information was potentially compromised during this event. This notice is intended to inform you of the incident and provide guidance on the steps you should take to protect your identity.
