Cuero, TX | July 9, 2025 — The Cuero ISD Education Foundation has issued a statement addressing a recent cybersecurity incident that compromised its primary email address, info@cueroedfoundation.org, over the past weekend. A phishing email, sent from the compromised address, reached several contacts before the breach was identified and contained.
Immediate Response and Mitigation
Upon discovering the unauthorized access, Foundation staff acted quickly to secure the account and launch a series of enhanced security protocols to safeguard against future threats. Recipients of the phishing email were directly notified and advised to avoid clicking any suspicious links. Community members who received unexpected emails from the Foundation’s address were urged to delete them immediately.
No Impact on Donor or Financial Data
Crucially, the Foundation emphasized that the breach was isolated to the email account alone. No other systems—including those housing donor or billing information—were affected. All sensitive personal and financial data remains protected on separate, secure platforms.
Commitment to Community Trust
“We understand this incident may have caused concern,” the Foundation noted in its statement. “We deeply apologize for any inconvenience or alarm. Your trust is essential to us, and we remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of information security.”
The Foundation’s swift action and open communication demonstrate its ongoing dedication to transparency and the integrity of its operations—hallmarks of its service to the Cuero community.
