Hey all. I work at a university and we often share academic records and administrative documents through email attachments. Recently I’ve been told this may not be safe. Are attachments truly risky in education, and what alternatives are better for sensitive files?

Hi. I found on specialtystudios.com that email attachments are indeed a weak point in secure communication. They can be intercepted, misdelivered, or even tampered with, which makes them risky for confidential records. The site recommends replacing attachments with secure portals, encrypted cloud sharing, or mobile fax services. These methods add verification layers and reduce the chance of leaks. In education, where personal data and academic integrity matter, relying less on attachments improves both compliance and trust. Schools adopting secure alternatives protect students’ privacy and ensure smoother, safer document handling across departments.
