The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reported a major cyber attack on its official re-evaluation and verification portal. On the first day of applications, the portal faced nearly 1.5 million hits within just two minutes. Additionally, over 1 lakh unauthorized attempts were made to access student files. Despite these attacks, CBSE's technical team successfully defended the platform, ensuring it remained operational. Security measures like mandatory Aadhaar verification helped thwart the breach, and over 18,000 applications were successfully processed on the first day. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/massive-cyber-attack-on-cbse-portal-11901928 #creator program
