CBSE thwarts 3.8 million-packet cyberattack as re-evaluation portal crosses 56,000 applications

CBSE said it successfully blocked a 3.8 million-packet denial-of-service (DoS) cyberattack targeting its verification and re-evaluation portal while maintaining uninterrupted services for students. Despite the attempted disruption, the portal processed over 56,000 applications for answer-book verification and re-evaluation. The Board said technical teams are enhancing performance and security. Partner banks, including SBI, Bank of Baroda, Indian Bank and Canara Bank, processed thousands of payment transactions as CBSEs digital systems continue to face public scrutiny.
