Why 92% of Small Businesses Get Hacked — And What Our Students Are Doing Differently

Last month, a computer training center in Ludhiana shut down — not due to low enrollment, but because a ransomware attack encrypted all student records, fee receipts, and course material. Recovery cost: ₹8.2 lakh. Downtime: 11 days.

The cause?
An untrained staff member clicked a fake “Google Drive Update” link.

This isn’t rare.
According to CERT-In’s 2026 SME Cyber Risk Report, 92% of small businesses in North India lack basic cybersecurity hygiene — and 78% have no staff trained in digital safety.
