#Watch | Ethical Hacker Nisarga Adhikary (@ni5arga), who exposed vulnerabilities in #CBSE’s OnMark portal, speaks to @dawalelo and @johnXavier777 about serious security lapses, including easily guessable passwords, unsecured databases, and public storage buckets that allegedly exposed sensitive data such as answer sheets and student credentials. He also raised concerns over data privacy and sovereignty, alleging that CBSE’s tech vendor, COEMPT Eduteck, processed sensitive student data using Google’s Gemini and stored answer sheets in public Amazon Web Services buckets without adequate security checks.
