Wawasee Community School Corporation

Wawasee Community School Corporation, also known as Wawasee Community Schools or WCSC, is a public school corporation. Its headquarters is located in the United States of America. The organization provides K-12 educational services to the community within its district. It operates under the aliases Wawasee Community School Corporation, Wawasee Community Schools, and the acronym WCSC.

As a public school entity, it is overseen by a locally elected school board and receives funding from state and local sources. The corporation’s primary mission is to deliver instruction and support services to students enrolled in its schools. In January 2023, the organization experienced a ransomware attack attributed to the BlackCat group. The attack prompted an immediate network shutdown and triggered investigations by state and federal agencies. While Windows-based systems were compromised, Chromebooks used within the district remained unaffected. Initial assessments indicated that student and employee data stored off local servers were not breached. After the district declined to pay the ransom, BlackCat released approximately 9.78 gigabytes of allegedly stolen files on their leak site, although the provided download link was non‑functional. The corporation has not publicly acknowledged the leak, leaving the actual contents and any potential exposure of personal information unverified. Technology staff worked extensively to restore systems while managing ongoing service interruptions caused by the incident.
