Why Is NYU Making This Change?
Higher education institutions have increasingly become the main target for ransomware threats. In addition to extorting funds from universities, hackers also steal personal information, intellectual property, and research data.
Students, faculty, and staff can also become targets. Personal information such as Social Security numbers, bank account details, and other private information are all extremely valuable to bad actors. Although technology has improved our security, attackers have pivoted to "hacking the human" to bypass technical defenses. It only takes one compromised account to expose NYU colleagues, NYU’s network, and University data to cyber threats.
