# Cyber Attacks Against Schools and Colleges

**[Arctic Wolf](https://daily.dev/sources/arcticwolf)** · 10 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Educational institutions, such as schools, colleges, and universities, are targets of cyber attacks due to the valuable personal information they store. The number of incidents and data disclosure has increased dramatically in recent years. Ransomware attacks, data breaches, business email compromise, distributed denial of service attacks, and invasions are some of the common cyber attacks faced by schools. To stay protected, institutions need to reduce human risk, implement security protocols, and provide training to staff. Notable cyber attacks against educational institutions include incidents at the University of Manchester, University of Hertfordshire, and Howard University.
