All Souls St Gabriels School has confirmed a cyber incident. A notice on its website says it is investigating a recent cyber incident involving unauthorised access to part of its systems. It took immediate steps to secure its systems and engaged specialist cyber security and forensic experts, and it has found no impact on day-to-day operations, with teaching and learning continuing as normal. It is aware of online claims naming the school, which its external specialists are assessing, and has put ongoing monitoring in place.

It has notified the Australian Cyber Security Centre and will contact individuals directly if their personal information is found to be affected.

It warns current and former community members to expect more phishing and scam contact and has set up dedicated support channels.

A spokesperson told Cyber Daily (13 October) that parents and staff were told 'late last week'. According to Cyber Daily, the gang has not said how much data it holds or what it is demanding.

According to Cyber Daily, the school, based in Charters Towers in North Queensland, has 460 students from pre-prep to Year 12, about 200 of them boarders.

The school was listed on The Gentlemen ransomware gang's leak site in a 9 October post, according to Cyber Daily. (sources: All Souls St Gabriels School; Cyber Daily)

Correction (25 Oct 2026): removed leak-site tracker links and the gang's publication threat, which an earlier version wrongly attributed to the school's spokesperson; the listing is now credited to Cyber Daily. (source: Cyber Daily)

Correction (26 Oct 2026): the card date has moved from 9 to 13 October 2026, the Perth date of Cyber Daily's report (12 October, 23:47 UTC; 13 October, 7:47 am Perth time (AWST)), the earliest dated source cited; the school's notice is undated, and 9 October is the date of the leak-site post Cyber Daily describes.

Correction (05 Nov 2026): removed the ransomware group's claim from the title and a second mention of the group from the summary; the card gives the listing only in the credited sentence above. (source: Cyber Daily)
