The Board noted that the attacks consisted of large amounts of malicious traffic originating from various IP addresses, both domestic and international. The primary goal appeared to be to destabilize the platform, restrict access for legitimate users, and attempt to extract information without authorization.
CBSE stated it has contacted the IFSO Unit to seek a thorough investigation and appropriate legal measures against those involved. The Board stressed that its systems and databases are secure and intact, with no signs of data breaches or unauthorized access reported.
These attacks were successfully neutralized through ongoing 24×7 monitoring and response strategies, supported by cybersecurity teams from IIT Kanpur, IIT Madras, Digital India Corporation, the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), CERT-In, and other Central Government organizations.
