The CBSE revaluation portal's payment system was hit by a "malicious attack", with around 50 students getting affected, government sources have said.
"There were some unauthorised attacks on the portal. The payment gateway was with respect to HDFC about 50-odd children had got in after the hack," a source said.
According to the sources, the issue led to abnormal fee displays on the portal, where the payable amount in some cases fluctuated from around Re 1 to nearly Rs 67,000-68,000.
"I think out of fun or out of mala fide intention, one rupee was shown and then Rs 67-68,000. So, there were about 50 children in whose cases the amount had changed," the source said.
The glitch was linked to the HDFC payment gateway integrated with the system and occurred when the portal went live.
"I think the portal was not functional for quite some time. There were issues with respect to the amount where 50 children came in, and they (hackers) manipulated the system," the source said.
