What is E.S. Killie Scores for Scholars?

As soon as the issue was identified, we immediately contacted Google and the State of North Dakota to begin the process of securing the domain and restoring access. Since that time, we have been actively working with multiple partners.
During this incident, a large number of fictitious accounts were created within our domain, and some legitimate accounts were impacted. After proving ownership of the domain, access was restored, and the majority of valid accounts were recovered within Google’s recovery window. Any remaining issues are being addressed on an individual basis.
The cause of this incident is still under investigation. Google is conducting its final review to determine how the disruption occurred and to help prevent future incidents.
Looking ahead, we will be implementing additional security measures to further protect our digital assets. These efforts will include enhancements such as two-factor authentication, staff training, file backups, and other best-practice security protocols.
We appreciate the patience and understanding shown by our staff, students, families, and community throughout this process.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact us directly.
