Indian Tops Global Cyber Attacks on Education Sector
According to a new report, the education sector in India was attacked significantly more compared to other industries in the month of July globally, experiencing 5,196 attacks per week on average.
According to Check Point Research (CPR), by region, organisations in education sector in South Asia experienced the highest volume of attacks. The most targeted countries were India, Italy, Israel, Australia and Turkey.
In India, schools, universities and research centres make for attractive targets to cyber criminals because they are often under resourced from a security perspective. The short-notice, on-and-off shift to remote learning exacerbates the security risk.
The UK region experienced a 142 per cent increase in weekly cyber attacks on its education sector, while the East Asia region marked a 79 per cent increase.

Regional Dust Storms Enhance Martian Water Loss to Space
Individual regional dust events can boost planetary water loss by a factor of five to ten and represent an important driver of atmospheric evolution on Mars, according to an analysis of data collected by a trio of spacecraft: NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), ESA's Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) orbiter.
Dust storms heat up higher altitudes of the Martian atmosphere, preventing water vapor from freezing as usual and allowing it to reach farther up.
In the higher reaches of Mars, water molecules are left vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation, which breaks them up into their lighter components of hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen, which is the lightest element, is easily lost to space, with oxygen either escaping or settling back to the surface.
Planetary scientists have long suspected that Mars has lost most of its water largely through this process, but they didn't realize the significant impact of regional dust storms, which happen nearly every summer in the planet's southern hemisphere.
IIT Guwahati Researchers Make Breakthrough in Computer Memory Architecture
Researchers from IIT Guwahati have developed methods to evenly distribute accesses across computer systems' overall memory capacity to reduce the wear-out pressure on heavily-written locations.
The researchers have made fundamental contributions to memory architectures by preventing redundancy in data values and improving slow and frequent writes in the multi-core processor systems.
The research is being led by Professor Hemangee K. Kapoor from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the IIT Guwahati, and her team comprises research scholars Sukarn Agarwal, Palash Das, Sheel Sindhu Manohar, Arijit Nath, and Khushboo Rani.
