Education institutions across the planet , including India, are pushed to work online from homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As more teachers and students coordinate classes via the web , they're constantly targeted by hackers through various sorts of malware and cyber attacks. a replacement report on Friday claims that spear-phishing attacks on Indian schools and colleges via Gmail have increased in September following a drop during the summer vacations (July-August). Spear-phishing may be a sort of personalised phishing attack that targets a selected organisation or individual, with intentions to steal data for malicious purposes.
Researchers at Barracuda also noticed that phishing attacks on educational institutes were mainly carried using two methods between July and September - email scams and repair impersonation. In many cases, Gmail accounts were the first medium for hackers to launch phishing attacks, accounting 86 percent of total spear-phishing attacks, the report notes. These emails via Gmail were a part of carefully-crafted business email compromise (BEC) attack, that's a form spear-phishing attack, the corporate notes.

The company adds that as schools and other educational institutes in India still operate online, cybersecurity threats should be widely addressed among them. For starters, schools and colleges got to prioritise email security that leverages AI to spot unusual senders and requests. Barracuda Networks further says that institutes must also invest in technology which will enable them to spot suspicious activities and potential signs of account takeover.
