Investigation notes
New Albany Floyd County Schools is a public educational institution responsible for the administration of K-12 schooling and academic services in Indiana. As an educational entity, the district maintains extensive records containing sensitive personal information for students, parents, and staff, including academic performance data, enrollment records, and administrative personnel files. This security incident was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized access to district systems occurred. If you received a formal data breach notification letter from the school district, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within the affected environment. We encourage you to review the details provided in your notification letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the protective measures being offered.
What our attorneys examine
A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether New Albany Floyd County Schools used reasonable security, how long it kept the data, and how quickly it told the people affected. Those questions decide whether a class action or individual claim is possible. Read more on how ransomware lawsuits work, or browse other incident files in Indiana.

Attorney advertising. An incident file reflects a public regulator filing and our review of it; it does not mean a lawsuit has been filed or that the company did anything unlawful. Submitting a review request does not create an attorney-client relationship.
