India's Education Sector Faces Cyberattacks Amid Weak Academic Data Backup Practices
India's education sector faces an average of 8,487 cyberattacks weekly, exposing a critical gap between awareness and practice in backing up academic data. Incidents like the 2020 Unacademy breach, 2023 Diksha app leak, and 2022 AIIMS-Delhi ransomware attack highlight vulnerabilities due to weak backup systems. Many students mistakenly rely on cloud synchronization, which may not protect against data loss after accidental deletion or ransomware. This gap risks loss of research, dissertations, and educational materials across campuses.
