Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], March 17<\/strong>: The West Bengal Board of Primary Education (WBBPE) has launched a new website www.wbbpe.org.pl<\/a> \u00a0after the hackers carried out a successful cyberattack on the government server which hosted its original website www.wbbpe.org<\/a> \u00a0on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The defacement came to light when the board received several complaints from the students and parents regarding the webpage showing HTTP error 503.2 and service unavailable on March 15.<\/p>\n

Dr. RC Bagchi, secretary, WBBPE said, \u201cThe WBBPE\u2019s official government website has been hacked in a successful cyberattack by the hackers. Since March 15, students and parents were unable to access our official website due to the cyber attack. However, the government has launched a new website www.wbbpe.org.pl<\/a> \u00a0to facilitate the students and parents for accessing vital information from the board.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2020-21, India had a total of 11,58,208 cyber security incidents. According to a study from the Central Government, cyber security attacks grew to 12,13,784 by October 2021. In the last two years, about 87,050 cyber security incidents were directed at government organisations.<\/p>\n

Data security is becoming increasingly important, particularly for governments that are more exposed to cyber-attacks. And, in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak, security experts have warned that cyber-attacks will only become more prevalent.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bagchi added, \u201cWe are seeking expert advice for securing our new official website from further cyber-attacks. Still, the hackers are anonymous and they may have stolen the important data.\u201d<\/p>\n
