Reynella East College Claimed by Interlock Ransomware

As a school, the breach raises concerns over potential exposure of sensitive student and staff information, though specific data details have not been publicly detailed by the group.
- student data
- personal information
Reynella East College, a South Australian school that educates children from preschool through year 12, has been listed by the Interlock ransomware group. The claim, made public on 23 June 2026, indicates that the attackers may have obtained student records and other personal information held by the institution. Exact details of the exposed data and the number of people affected remain unclear because the ransomware operators have not released samples.
Public reporting from ransomware tracking site Ransomware.live shows the college appearing on Interlock’s leak page. Available information describes the incident as a typical ransomware event in which attackers encrypt systems and threaten to publish stolen data unless a ransom is paid. No independent confirmation of the volume or type of records has been published, and the school has not issued a detailed public statement at the time of writing. Industry research from sources such as DoxxScan™ continuous monitoring indicates that educational institutions frequently store names, dates of birth, addresses, parent contact details and sometimes medical or behavioural notes — all of which can appear in ransomware leaks.
