Over 16,000 Scottish schoolchildren lost access to Gmail after a student’s explicit email spread internally, prompting swift action by Google and school officials.
Over 16,000 schoolchildren in East Lothian, Scotland, were temporarily locked out of their school Gmail accounts on September 25, 2025, after a sexually explicit email sent by a student rapidly spread through the school network.
IT staff detected the issue within eight minutes and Google disabled all student accounts within ten minutes, preventing further access.
The council confirmed the breach was internal, not from an external source, and that most students likely did not view the content due to the swift response.
All affected accounts were suspended, messages are being recalled, and parents were notified.
School staff are supporting students, and officials are reviewing policies to prevent future incidents, urging parents to discuss online safety with their children.
