Ethical hacker who flagged CBSE's marking portal vulnerability speaks out; and more

In this episode of 5 Live, watch the exclusive interview of the 19-year-old ethical hacker who hacked and exposed critical security flaws in CBSE's new digital evaluation system. The student allegedly breached the On-Screen Marking (OSM) portal, revealing vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorised access to alter grades and view sensitive data. These security gaps were reportedly flagged to the board and cybersecurity agencies months earlier. The disclosure came as thousands of students faced systemic chaos during the re-evaluation process, including payment gateway crashes, server failures, and receiving incorrect or blurred answer sheets. Amid the backlash, the Education Minister has sought a detailed report and is working with public sector banks to overhaul the payment system. However, with re-evaluation deadlines passing, many students remain without a resolution, raising serious questions about the digital infrastructure's reliability.
