The education sector has experienced a significant rise in malware attacks, affecting more than 7.2 million devices, with a staggering 83% of all attacks targeting this sector. Recognizing the severity of the threat, the FBI and CISA issued an alert, cautioning that cybercriminal groups would intensify their attacks on K-12 institutions. Troubling data reveals that over 60% of K-12 schools in the US exhibit common vulnerabilities, as identified through a scan of 11,118 websites.
