Islamabad : Digital education tools and services are now across desktops, laptops, tablets and ARM-based Windows devices are increasingly regarded as an effective choice for studying online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the survey, conducted by Kaspersky 62% of respondents had engaged in some form of education in the past 12 months. Of those, the majority had done so at least partially online with \u2013 45% in a fully online format and 40% in a hybrid format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The survey reveals that almost 60% of people who pursued online or hybrid education in the past 12 months experienced at least one digital incident related to their learning. Suspicious messages or links were the most common issue, affecting 27% of respondents, followed by fake apps or websites at 20% and scams through online communities or messaging groups at 18%. Fake courses or education providers affected 17% of respondents, while 16% encountered malware in educational files or apps and an equal percentage reported personal data exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, 14% faced issues with unrecognized certificates, and 10% experienced account hacking. Spam emails, and other scams encountered in online education, can severely influence both users\u2019 online studies and their overall digital lives, and may even result in data and money loss or a device failure. Almost half (47%) of those who experienced an incident, lost time, 42% received unwanted advertising, 34% lost trust in educational platforms, and 25% suffered financial loss \u2014 equivalent to roughly one in seven of all learners surveyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As digital education spreads across desktops, laptops, tablets, and interest for ARM-based Windows PCs for educational purposes is growing, protection must follow learners across every device they use. Reflecting this, Kaspersky is expanding its security portfolio to ARM-based Windows PCs (e.g., Qualcomm Snapdragon X, Snapdragon X Plus, and Snapdragon X Elite devices), extending its AI-powered scam and malware protection to a broader range of platforms used in digital education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We see a growing demand for advanced training courses and university programs delivered online. This rapid digitalization, coupled with an evolving threat landscape, creates a clear need for comprehensive digital\u2011life protection. Losing a thesis because a ransomware blocks a computer, paying for a fake course or having an account compromised after clicking a malicious chat link are serious risks that anyone studying online can face. With Kaspersky now supporting ARM-based devices, our solutions extend AI-powered scam protection to an even broader range of platforms, ensuring that all user\u2019s online activities are secured\u201d, comments Marina Titova, Vice President for Consumer Business at Kaspersky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To stay protected while learning online Kaspersky experts recommends creating a different password for each learning platform or service. To generate unique and complex passwords use Kaspersky Password Generator and secure store your credentials in Kaspersky Password Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
