These days online education has became a trend and everyone is enrolling to studying online through their Laptop, Personal Computer, Tab/iPad or Smartphone. Actually due to Covid19 pandemic students are not able to join school or institutes physically therefore the institutes has started online classes so that students can learn sitting in home. My daughter is getting online classes for two hours daily but is anyone looking the negative side effects of this artificial technology? i know there are some who knowing about side effects but there is compulsion to enroll for online classes. Hackers are collecting the data from institution now and they will definitely sell those data to others or they will use it to empty a bank account. In various country there the e-commerce sites are down or not selling product due to lockdown or the delivery personal can not join the warehouse to collect the parcel hence hackers are searching another place to collect new data all time and they have chose online institute now.
What data hackers can collect from institute server?
1. Name of student and their parents.
2. Mobile number and e-mail ID of parents.
3. Income details of parents.
4. School details such as school address, contact details and possibly bank details.
5. Personal information of staff and process information of school.
Without providing personal information it is not easy to enroll anywhere online these days, at least in school PI is mandatory.
How can school save data from hackers?
It is big question but if network security is good enough then there is chances to save data but in a small institutes where only two or three IT staffs are working can not keep safe PI data from hackers because they can't give there 24X7 support so in this scenario school should contact to cloud service provider where all data will store and that is the only way to save data from hackers.
*If anyone want to know how hackers uses PI then read my last post by clicking here i will become happy.
