Gadsden Independent School District in Sunland Park, New Mexico, experienced a ransomware attack on August 13, 2024, but confirmed that student and employee data were not affected. The attack occurred around 2 p.m., prompting the district to take immediate actions to secure all systems.

Student Chromebooks were not impacted by the attack, ensuring that students’ devices and access remained secure. The district communicated that students would likely regain access to the network by August 14, minimizing disruptions to learning.

In addition to securing the network, the district’s IT team worked continuously to address the issue and restore all affected services. Updates were provided to the community to keep them informed of the district’s progress and commitment to a swift recovery. Throughout the incident, the district maintained clear communication with teachers, staff, and families, focusing on transparency and security.

Gadsden Independent School District’s response reflects a commitment to maintaining data privacy and network security.
