Phishing and social engineering attacks are prevalent in universities and NGOs, where staff, students and donors are often targeted by deceptive emails. These attacks can lead to stolen credentials, financial fraud and unauthorized access to critical systems.
Fight phishing. Train staff and students, enforce multi-factor authentication and mandate regular password updates.
Key Dangers & Risks:
Credential theft. Phishing can steal login credentials for student portals, financial systems or donor platforms.
Fraudulent donations. Attackers may trick donors into transferring funds to fraudulent accounts.
Compromised university or NGO systems. Stolen credentials can provide attackers with unauthorized access to sensitive information.
