Hackers block computer network from Belgian school with ransomware – Computer – News

And that is the problem with educational institutions. Deep cuts. As a result, large staff shortages. Working with outdated devices (is currently working here with a DELL computer that is more than 10 years old (old dual core) with an enormous small screen). And no money for good security, so we use Windows Defender.
In addition, the weakest link is the user and teachers are really not waiting for a very long IT security course, let alone that there is money for a good course.
I also notice that during study days, half of them really participate actively and pay attention, most of them just want their other (administrative) work to be in order as quickly as possible on those days, because tomorrow unfortunately the working day starts again. So you need more time for the children / students and you can do the administrative work from home again in your “free” hours.

In short, first more money from the government, then only solutions. Something that I personally don’t see happening.
It also seems to me that these problems will eventually arise in the healthcare sector, which is also being stripped down. Too bad but realistic.
