Security Intelligence reported:
The federal government recently warned that K-12 schools face a growing threat from cyber groups. According to the FBI, school districts often have limited cybersecurity protections, which makes them even more vulnerable. The FBI also says it anticipates the number of threats to increase.
In a recent warning, the nation’s top security agencies said the ransomware group Vice Society is disproportionately targeting schools. In response to these types of threats, CISA has released new guidelines for K-12 entities to deter cyberattacks. Will it be enough to protect our schools?
“We have seen widespread credit abuse, identity theft, even tax fraud,” said Doug Levin, national director for K12 Security Information eXchange (K12 SIX). K12 SIX is a national non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the U.S. K-12 community — including school districts, charter schools, private schools and regional and state education agencies — from emerging cybersecurity threats.
