The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced that its re-evaluation and marks verification portal successfully handled a staggering 1.5 million cyberattack attempts within a brief span of two minutes on its opening day. Despite these malicious attempts, the portal remained fully functional, going live at 7 AM and accommodating over 8,000 concurrent users. By 3 PM, more than 16,000 students had completed their submissions for marks verification and re-evaluation of answer sheets. The attacks were primarily Denial-of-Service (DoS) attempts, coinciding with a significant surge in legitimate traffic as students logged in to apply. CBSE officials assured that their technical teams worked diligently to maintain the portal’s operational status. The board emphasized that the revaluation and verification process for Class 12 students will proceed as scheduled. They also urged students to access the portal through official channels and to report any technical difficulties promptly. This incident underscores the ongoing cybersecurity challenges faced by educational institutions as they increasingly transition critical processes to online platforms.
