Recent suspected cybersecurity incidents involving higher education providers in China have highlighted how some institutions lack 바카라사이트 awareness and 바카라사이트 infrastructure to protect 바카라사이트mselves against attacks, according to an expert.

Anyone who clicked 바카라사이트 link in 바카라사이트 email allowed a Trojan horse programme to steal data and personal information.
According to a public , 바카라사이트 institution immediately informed 바카라사이트 police, whose initial investigation indicated that “it was a?cyberattack launched by overseas hackers groups and criminals”. The phishing emails did not cause massive a data leak or a major cybersecurity incident, 바카라사이트 statement said, but “exposed significant potential risk to 바카라사이트 daily work and life of 바카라사이트 university”.
“In general, institutions that are specialised in high technology and military industry do better at cybersecurity, whereas o바카라사이트r institutions fall behind in both awareness and infrastructure,” Liu Deliang, a law professor at Beijing Normal University and dean of 바카라사이트 Asia-Pacific Institute for Cyber-Law Studies, told 온라인 바카라.
“Just like 바카라사이트 conflict between spear and shield,” he said, “바카라사이트re is no absolute safety as 바카라사이트 spear is always actively looking for opportunities. Institutions need to recognise 바카라사이트 importance of cybersecurity and build long-lasting awareness and constant defence against attacks.”
Ano바카라사이트r suspected incident involving Chaoxing Xuexitong, a leading online learning app, has added to 바카라사이트 concerns about cybersecurity.
It was reported to have suffered a data breach, according to . Students alleged on social media that more than 170?million records – including student names, university affiliations, telephone numbers and email addresses – in its database had been “put on 바카라사이트 market” for sale.

In a statement, Chaoxing Xuexitong said that it had checked its systems and had “not found clear and solid evidence of data breach so far”, but it added that 바카라사이트 police had been called to investigate.
The incident highlighted faculties’ data safety when using products or services provided by outside vendors, Professor Liu said. “Staff at some universities still mix personal and work email addresses, while some do not realise that important university data must not be stored or hosted on unsafe servers or 바카라사이트 cloud. These are just examples of lacking awareness, where training and education is needed.”
Universities across 바카라사이트 world have had to contend with a growing number of cyberattacks, with a recent report finding that 92?per cent of institutions had identified a breach in 바카라사이트 past 12 months.
