In the last 18 months, school systems with restricted budgets have turned to Chromebooks as a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution. Chromebooks are easy enough to navigate so that younger students can manage the technology. For middle school and high school use, managed Chromebooks have administrative functions so schools can enforce policies, including blocking social media.
Unfortunately, as schools went digital in 2020 to increase access to educational resources, malicious actors also began targeting these devices. An increase in usage has brought increases in threats including:
- Phishing attacks resulting in stealing the identity of the user/student
- Network attacks where personal/student information is accessed
- Malicious malware in apps taking control of microphones and cameras remotely turned on and other privacy-invasive actions
