LONDON, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- Universities in Britain have faced hundreds of cyber attacks in the past year targeting sensitive scientific ECCO Mens Soft 8 High Top Black Australia , engineering and medical advances including research into missiles, it was revealed Tuesday.
A report in the Times newspaper said in London that cyber security breached at institutions including Oxford and University College London (UCL) have doubled in the past two years to 1,152.
The Times used freedom of information requests to gain its data revealing that criminals are launching hundreds of successful cyber attacks on British universities each year.
The report cited experts saying that criminal gangs were finding ways through often weak defenses in an attempt to steal sensitive information on behalf of foreign states or to sell it on to them.
The report added that research into missiles, stealth fabric, used to help to disguise military vehicles and weapons, and energy including new fuels and batteries is thought to be among the targets. Universities declined to reveal which research had been compromised ECCO Rugged Track Gtx Moc Tie Mocha Australia , the Times added.
It said hackers have also sought sensitive medical records held at university hospitals.
Professor Carsten Maple, director of cyber security research at Warwick University and chairman of Britain's council of professors and heads of computing, told the Times that cyber defenses at universities needed to be urgently tightened.
"Universities drive forward a lot of the research and development in the UK. Intellectual property takes years of know-how and costs a lot. If someone can get that very quickly, that's good for them," Maple told the Times, adding ECCO Transit Slip On Moon Rock Australia , "Certainly somebody might attack a university and then provide that information to a nation state."
According to the Times, Maple raised concerns over the growing threat to national infrastructure.
"What's also increasing are cyber-physical attacks where our buildings are affected. Heating, ventilation and management systems are connected to the internet. That's especially worrying for places like the health service," Maple added.
