Industry: Public Education

Attack summary

Severity: medium — Data has been published by the threat actor (disclosed_status = data_published), but the leak post excerpt provides only generic description of the school's mission and does not enumerate specific data types compromised, proof files, or scale of exfiltration. Educational institutions hold student records (FERPA-protected PII), making any confirmed exfiltration serious; however, without explicit proof inventory or data type confirmation in the post, severity is set to medium rather than high.

The Eclipse group claims to have compromised Dublin City Schools' systems and published data. The leak post does not specify whether encryption occurred, exfiltration occurred, or both; no operational disruption details are provided.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by ECLIPSE means Dublin City Schools GA appeared on a ransomware extortion site and data attributed to it has been published. If this is your organisation, or a supplier you depend on, the priority is to confirm the intrusion and contain it before the window to act closes.

Engage your incident-response team and preserve forensic evidence before remediating — do not wipe affected systems first.
Force a password reset and revoke active sessions for exposed accounts; rotate any credentials, API keys or certificates that may have been in the stolen data.
Assess regulatory notification duties (GDPR, NIS2, sector regulators) — many carry a 72-hour reporting clock from awareness.
Report the incident to your national CERT, CISA (United States), as required for your jurisdiction.
Monitor for the data appearing on ECLIPSE's leak site and across paste and breach channels, and brief downstream partners who may be exposed through you.

How we know this. Darkfield monitors public ransomware leak sites continuously, archiving every new disclosure and the data later released against the victim. Each entry on this page is sourced from the operator's own publication and cross-checked against complementary OSINT feeds (RansomLook, ransomware.live, RansomWatch). We do not collect or host stolen data — only the metadata, timestamps and screenshots needed to make the public disclosure searchable and accountable. Records here are corrected when the original post is edited, retracted, or merged with another disclosure.
