| Key Takeaways
• In May 2026, attackers stole 275 million records from an education platform — the largest education data breach on record. • Platform-level encryption did not protect the content. Once attackers reach the application layer, data is fully readable. • Paying the ransom for “data destruction” is unverifiable — and not a security strategy. • The fix is data-centric security: encrypt the content itself, not just the container. |
Learn how Fasoo AI can ensure the data inside them is protected regardless of whether the attacker ever gets in.
