On June 3, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reported a denial-of-service (DoS) attack targeting its official website, resulting in a staggering 3.8 million packets aimed at disrupting access for legitimate users. Sources indicated that within just two minutes of the attack's initiation, the CBSE platform recorded around 1.5 million access requests. Additionally, the board's security systems successfully identified and blocked over 100,000 unauthorized access attempts. The attack's traffic pattern was characterized by high-volume request bursts, typical of DoS attacks, but the CBSE's security architecture effectively mitigated the threat. Despite the challenges posed by this malicious activity, the CBSE ensured that critical services such as verification, answer-book access, and re-evaluation processes remained operational. To further support students, the board revised deadlines to prevent any adverse effects from the technical disruptions. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges educational institutions face in safeguarding their online platforms against cyber threats.
