Cybersecurity Training For Teachers Is Key To Stopping Phishing In Schools

Jul 28, 2025 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Schools have become a prime target for cybercriminals, with phishing now the biggest threat. In fact, 89% of UK primary and secondary schools experienced a phishing attack last year, the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology reveals. 40% of higher education institutions also reported serious repercussions after phishing attacks, such as, data breaches or financial loss. So, what makes schools such attractive phishing targets? The answer lies in the fact that they often store a lot of sensitive data, but lack the IT resources to properly protect it. The good news is teachers do have the power to fight back against phishing.

LLMs Are Not Goldfish: Why AI Memory Poses a Risk to Your Sensitive Data

Jul 27, 2025 By Michael Callahan In Salt Security
We’ve all heard the myth: goldfish have a memory span of just a few seconds. While that’s debatable in marine biology circles, it’s useful as a metaphor in tech, especially when talking about memory, risk, and AI. The problem is, large language models (LLMs) are not goldfish. In fact, they have incredible memory. And increasingly, that memory isn’t just session-based. It’s persistent, long-term, and system-connected. That changes everything.
