Depending on the details a criminal is able to obtain from a student, they could steal money, set up direct debits, make purchases for valuable goods through online sites or even take control of their computer – being able to access functions such as their webcam.
Jesse Norman MP, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said:
“Cyber criminals use every means they can to steal money and personal data from students. That’s why HMRC is asking all UK universities to make sure students know how to protect themselves.
HMRC is doing everything they can to clamp down on online fraud, but students and their families need to be vigilant, especially amid all the stresses and strains of going to university. I would urge university principals to take a lead in helping to protect students from these cyber thieves.”
