1.5 Million Hits In 2 Minutes: Cyberattack Attempts On CBSE Portal
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has said that its re-evaluation and verification portal remained operational despite facing multiple cyberattack attempts on the first day of the application process. The portal, which went live today, continued to function normally from 7 am onwards, according to the board.
In an update shared on X, CBSE revealed that the platform was targeted by a large-scale denial-of-service (DoS) attack, which generated nearly 1.5 million hits within a span of two minutes. The board also recorded more than one lakh attempts to gain unauthorised access to files hosted on the system.
