"Ghost students" are a growing threat to educational institutions, especially in online learning environments. These fraudulent enrollments steal federal financial aid, disrupt class capacities, and pose significant cybersecurity risks by gaining unauthorized access to institutional systems. Colleges and universities face inflated enrollment numbers, drained resources, and increased vulnerabilities to cyberattacks like phishing and ransomware.  Strengthening identity verification and cybersecurity measures is crucial to combat this issue and protect both students and institutions. To learn more about how ghost students impact higher education and what can be done to address this issue, check out our YouTube video on the topic. #DOFtechnology #ServiceDriven #Cybersecurity
