Threat to online learning

PETALING JAYA: Higher education institutions (HEIs), which moved their learning and tasks online since the Covid-19 pandemic, have come under cyberattack threats.

These institutions, which deal with large amounts of valuable and sensitive personal data, have become targets of cyber-criminals, espionage, and hacktivists for ransomware attacks, said Malaysian Association of Private Colleges and Universities president Datuk Parmjit Singh.
