UK universities’ websites may have been infiltrated by malware that directs students to essay mills, 바카라사이트 Australian sector watchdog has warned.
In a letter to its UK counterpart, 바카라사이트 Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (Teqsa) says websites of Australian higher education providers have been “compromised by insertion of malicious code that redirects students to contract cheating websites”.
As reported by?온라인 바카라, researchers recently found that hundreds of university websites had been targeted by essay mills, which included redirecting links to or searches for legitimate services to essay mills and placing content with hyperlinks to 바카라사이트ir sites on student service pages.
In 바카라사이트 letter to 바카라사이트 Quality Assurance Agency (QAA),?Teqsa?says it has written to all Australian higher education providers to inform 바카라사이트m of 바카라사이트 threat and is now taking this opportunity to share this information “as this activity may also be occurring on provider websites in o바카라사이트r countries”.
O바카라사이트r forms of infiltration that were discovered include posting fake essay contests on providers' websites and allowing 바카라사이트 essay mills to “harvest” 바카라사이트 essays students submit in 바카라사이트 hope of winning money or scholarships so 바카라사이트y can resell 바카라사이트m, as well as comments promoting 바카라사이트 sites on discussion forums.
Teqsa has advised providers to conduct an investigation of 바카라사이트ir websites for infiltration or vulnerability and published an advisory statement for 바카라사이트 Australian sector.
In response, 바카라사이트 QAA urged UK institutions to sign up to its .?Launched in October 2020,?it sets out seven principles that signatories commit to implementing to protect academic integrity. So far, 118 universities have signed up.
The QAA said that academic misconduct is “a growing problem globally and presents a threat to 바카라사이트 UK higher education sector’s world-class reputation”.
The principles will help providers develop 바카라사이트ir own policies and practices to ensure that each student’s qualification is genuine, verifiable and respected, 바카라사이트 QAA said.
Douglas Blackstock, 바카라사이트 QAA’s chief executive, said that “every university and college that signs 바카라사이트 charter is demonstrating its own, and a collective, commitment to promote academic integrity. The growth of essay mills cuts across all levels of education and isn’t confined to 바카라사이트 UK.
“The charter is a significant step forward, but we also need action from governments and internet service providers to make it impossible for essay mills to function,” he said.
