School Cyber Attacks: A Growing Concern

Schools are having big computer problems. More than half of these problems are caused by their own students. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) says this is very worrying.

Students are breaking into school computers for fun or because friends dare them. They guess passwords or steal them from teachers. This lets them see private information they shouldn't.

Teachers need to be more careful. They must understand that their own students can be a danger to school computer systems. The ICO wants schools to protect their computers better from student attacks.
