Bernalillo Public School District
Contact Person: Terry Darnell, Interim Superintendent February 26, 2021
Bernalillo Schools takes the protection of employee information seriously, which is why, as a precautionary measure, we are reaching out to let you know about a data security incident that may potentially involve your personal information. The breach occurred at approximately 1:00 a.m. on February 26th.
The extent of the data breach is currently unknown; however, the District is working with the NM Public Education Department, Cyber Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and appropriate agencies to discover the extent of the breach and to prevent recurrence. We will keep you updated as further information is made available.
Update March 3, 2021
At this time, it appears that the network breach did not result in any loss of data. The attack is consistent with a ransomware incident, wherein files are locked to prevent usage. We have contracted with an outside 3rd party cybersecurity firm to assist in upgrading our protections and the recovery of locked files. District technicians have been dispatched to all school sites to inspect servers and computers. Technicians are installing enhanced protection software throughout the district and removing any malware.
We remain committed to ensuring the safety and security of the data in our networks and will continue to provide updates as information is available.
BPS will provide up-to-date information
regarding this development as we get more information. For questions please contact the superintendent at tdarnell@bps.k12.nm.us
