Specialists say that universities are particularly vulnerable because of the valuable data they house, such as employee records and intellectual property, and because these institutions are difficult to secure. Many universities have older, outdated security systems as well as diverse digital infrastructures and communities that can make it easy for hackers to infiltrate such systems.The incidents are part of a broader trend. Over the past few years, cyberattacks have been on the rise at academic institutions around the globe.
