Hackers Steal Sensitive Data from UK Department for Education and Police The latest cyberattack on the UK Department for Education (DfE) and a police database has highlighted the vulnerability of sensitive data in government institutions.
The breach, which compromised over 740,000 pieces of data, is alarming. However, this incident is not an isolated case; it reflects a broader trend of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.
The hackers claimed to have breached the DfE's help desk portal and the police national legal database (PNLD), raising questions about the adequacy of security measures in place.
