Mumbai University Officials Suspect Cyber Attack In Online Exam

Mumbai University’s 'Institute of Open and Distance Learning'(IDOL) exams were compromised by cyber attacks on October 6. Students told that on clicking the exam-link a message reading ‘No exams scheduled’ appeared. While the authorities suspected a glitch in the website, technology partners claim they did not rule out "cyber-attack". Subsequently, the exams scheduled on October 6 and 7 were postponed. MU had recently outsourced Singapore-based edtech firm for conducting exams online.
