The U.K. National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued an alert about a surge in ransomware attacks targeting education institutions. The British security agency is urging the institutions in the industry to follow the recommendations to mitigate the risk of exposure to ransomware attacks. This summer the NCSC investigated an increased number of cyber attacks on universities, schools, and colleges, most of them were hit with ransomware. The attacks continued over time, recently the Newcastle University was hit with DoppelPaymer ransomware.”]
