Critical data leak analysis in educational environment

The rapid growth of computer technologies has resulted in a corresponding increase in the creation of new loopholes in systems which eventually might result in data leak. Data leakage is an incident in which sensitive information is released to any unauthorized party intentionally or unintentionally...
