Cyber Security a Growing Concern in 2023
The increasing reliance on technology in business and education has brought about a rise in cyber threats. The recent ransomware attack on multiple schools in the UK serves as a reminder of the importance of cybersecurity in all business sectors where databases store personal or sensitive information. One of the most common types of cyberattacks is ransomware.

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts the victim’s files, making them inaccessible until the attacker receives the ransom. The report identified fourteen schools in the UK hacked by ransomware, a group known as Vice Society. The schools have had multiple documents leaked online after the attack, one reported in the vicinity of 18,680. These kinds of attacks highlight the potential damage to any organisation.

According to the BBC, the data includes:
– Personal data such as passport scans and personal ID details, dating back to 2011
– Contractual offers made to staff
– Pay and student bursary fund recipients
– Special Educational Needs (SEN) data

The message is loud and clear: If you’re in any business storing sensitive or confidential information, sadly, you are a target for some of the most prolific ransomware groups, and the geographical location is no restriction.
