CBSE revaluation portal system hit by ‘malicious attack of 50 students with unauthorised access’

The CBSE revaluation portal’s payment system was hit by a “malicious attack”, with around 50 students gaining unauthorised access, government sources have said.

“There were some unauthorised attacks on the portal. The payment gateway was with respect to HDFC… about 50-odd children had got in,” a source said.

According to the sources, the issue led to abnormal fee displays on the portal, where the payable amount in some cases fluctuated from around Re 1 to nearly Rs 67,000-68,000.
