Floydada Collegiate ISD staff member’s work email hacked

Floydada Collegiate ISD staff member’s work email hacked

Floydada Collegiate ISD is warning that a hacked staff email account sent phishing messages designed to steal Google passwords from students and staff.

Michael King, the district's director of technology, says kids and staff members may have received an email from Alejandra Ramirez's account asking them to click a link to a shared document. King says the link is built to steal Google login credentials, not just deliver a file.

Anyone with an FCISD email who clicked the link should reach out to King on Facebook to get their account suspended. He confirmed on Facebook that Ramirez's email has already been secured, so the immediate threat from her account is contained.

For families in Floydada, this is a reminder that school email accounts carry real risk when one gets compromised. A single hacked inbox can reach an entire district's worth of kids and staff in minutes. The fix depends on people noticing something looks off before they click, and King's Facebook outreach means anyone affected has to self-report rather than wait for the district to catch it another way.
