A government watchdog has warned of an insider threat of students hacking their own school systems after a rise in cyber attacks."
"The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) revealed a worrying pattern revealing that that pupils themselves are responsible for over half of school insider cyber attacks. It said that while these attacks may begin as a bit of fun in school, they can cause real damage and warns that this could have consequences for young people, setting them up for a life of cyber crime."
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) analysed 215 personal data breach reports in the education sector between January 2022 and 2024 and found that students caused 57% of insider cyber incidents. Many incidents began as pranks but produced real damage and could lead to long-term consequences, including grooming toward cyber crime. Almost a third of insider attacks resulted from students guessing weak passwords or finding them written on paper. The ICO warned of an insider threat as pupils increasingly hack their own school systems amid a rise in cyber attacks. The pattern highlights weak password practices and easy internal access as major vulnerabilities.
