A data breach affecting Alvin Independent School District (AISD) in Texas has compromised sensitive personal information belonging to 47,606 individuals.

The district confirmed the breach, which occurred in June 2024, and began notifying impacted people over the weekend.

Exposed information includes names, Social Security numbers, state-issued IDs, credit and debit card details, financial account numbers, medical data and health insurance information.

The incident was reported by the Texas attorney general on May 2 2025.

The ransomware gang Fog took credit for the attack in July 2024, asserting it stole 60 GB of data from AISD. The group published the district’s name on its data leak site – a common tactic used to pressure victims into paying a ransom.

AISD has not confirmed the group’s claim nor disclosed whether a ransom was paid.
