The Hindu reported that vulnerabilities in the OnMark exam-marking portal used by India's Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) allegedly exposed sensitive student data, including answer-sheet images. Ethical hacker Nisarga Adhikary also alleged that COEMPT Eduteck quality-assurance scripts processed students' personal information through Google Gemini. CBSE said the vulnerabilities had been contained.
What this means for youAt home: students' personal data and answer sheets may have been exposed and sent to an AI service without clear consent. At work: firms handling personal data should check what AI tools their scripts and staff send it to. In government: exam boards face questions over privacy and vendor oversight.
