13% of educational institutions in US faced ransomware attacks
on their networks in the past 12 months (as per examined by
Bitsight Insight report).
According to the US Department of Justice Statistics, 4000 ransomware
attacks occur on a daily basis in US alone.
Education industry is facing increasing number of data breaches and cyber attacks
as it holds large volume of personal and financial data.
As per BLI (Breach Level Index), 1.69% of total records stolen/lost by industry
is captured by education sector with a rise of 1.37% in 2017.
In January 2016, the
official website of the
Indian Institute
Managament-
Ahmedabad (IIM-A) was
hacked where the
hackers released the
result of 2015 CAT
exams of about
2,00,000 students.
19% of data breaches are caused by
human error and 32% of system
glitches. A rise of 20% in data breach
has been observed through emails sent
to wrong recipient.
11% of all data breaches were recorded in education industry alone.
A whooping number of 3,153,818 data records were compromised in
education industry in the year 2016.
According to a new study, a data breach in education sector costs $245
per compromised record.

PHISHING
Phishing attacks occur
when a recipient is
tricked to click on a
suspicious or malicious
link sent through email.
37% of data
breaches occur
due to email sent to
wrong recipient.

Forbes, Columbia Missourian 9
In January 2017, the
Westminster College of
Columbia fell victim to the
W-2 Form phishing scam. An
employee accidentally
released other employees'
confidential information to a
third party, compromising
their identities.
Young adults are
among those most at
risk at being the
victim of a phishing
scam that results in
malware or
ransomware
downloads.

Higher educational
institutes store huge
amount of data. The data
generated by the students
in the university
ecosystem is the main
reason they are being
targeted by the hackers.

CLOUD
SECURITY
Educational institutions are
becoming highly dependant
on cloud computing. The
increasing utilization of cloud
computing equally enhances
the risk of security and
protection of sensitive
information.

BYOD
Higher educational
institutions are
increasingly supporting
BYOD in their campus.
BYOD comes with
multiple security
challenges:
-Protection against
devices which are
infected with viruses
-Downloading
unauthorized content
-Social media and access
to malicious websites
BYOD culture enables
students to access multiple
malicious sites which are
often targeted with viruses
and malware.

12. PASSWORD
Most of the educational
institutes are now offering
open Wi-Fi network along
with BYOD policies.
Students power up their
phones, laptops and
tablets using open and
easily hackable Wi-Fi
network and putting all of
their personal information
on these devices.
PROBLEMS
Not secure
network
Reusing similar
or weak
passwords

Educational institues are
considered as a fertile place
for password-related cyber
crimes and it is all because
of the habit of using the
same password and
username/email for
everything. According to a
recent report, millions of
stolen and fake email
credentials are sold on the
dark web.
