CBSE online revaluation portal attacked
A cyber-attack on India's CBSE Class 12 revaluation portal exposed vulnerabilities, prompting a re-launch of the application window.
The CBSE portal hack underscores a fundamental truth: centralising critical — and sensitive — educational processes online without robust security is gross negligence. This incident isn’t a blip but a flashing warning sign regarding the digital transformation of public services. If national education systems cannot guarantee basic integrity, what hope is there for public trust? We now face a future where every digital interaction is a potential vulnerability.
To err is human, to forgive divine. No system is impenetrable. This was a minor incident, swiftly contained, demonstrating necessary agility in a digital-first world. Exaggerating its impact distracts from the benefits of online accessibility.
