Online attacks include phishing, pharming and Trojans is one of the most organized crime in recent decades. High education institutes, universities and colleges also are targeted by cyber criminals.But what is wealthy in colleges website?
Attackers mostly focus on accessing the log in credentials which be used by students to enter in their personal university page. This credentials compass of students user names and passwords. After accessing to students' information two possibility may occur.
Each student's personal profile consist of many important data such as students loans and banking account, credit card (mostly used for paying tuition fees) and also personal information such as date of birth and mail address.So the first possibility is stealing these data.
The second possibility is frauds use these information to spreed more spams because an email which send by university usually do not identify as a spam also it may be enclosed by students.
So I suggest to all students specially my dear classmates to be careful more than before. Frauds do not discriminate me and you.
