IIT Roorkee Data Breach: Urgent Call for Cybersecurity in HEIs

Imagine a school storing lots of private information about its students, like phone numbers and photos.

Recently, this school, IIT Roorkee, had a security problem, and this information was stolen.

The people in charge of the school didn't have good enough digital locks and guards.

This has made everyone realize that schools and colleges need to be much better at protecting this information.

There's a new law that says these schools can be fined if they don't keep the data safe.

The article suggests using strong passwords, making sure only the right people can see the data, and constantly checking for problems.

They also need to teach everyone how to be safe online so that they are protected.
