Antilliaans Dagblad reported that Scholengemeenschap Bonaire (SGB) was hit by an international ransomware attack, discovered internally after multiple servers failed to start. Europol reportedly informed police about the broader international attack around the same time. Initial analysis indicated one data server used mainly for archive files was infected, and a relatively small portion of data on that server was stolen; investigators were assessing whether the stolen archive files included personal data. SGB said regular education operations were not impacted because key systems ran in a secured cloud environment (including student/admin platforms and Microsoft Office), and it stated usernames/passwords were not stolen. The school reported filing a police report and notifying the BES data protection oversight body, and required staff and students to change passwords and remain vigilant for phishing.
