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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wbbpe.org.pl\">www.wbbpe.org.pl<\/a> \u00a0to facilitate the students and parents for accessing vital information from the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2020-21, India had a total of 11,58,208 cyber security incidents.

In the last two years, about 87,050 cyber security incidents were directed at government organisations.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Dr. Bagchi added, \u201cWe are seeking expert advice for securing our new official website from further cyber-attacks.
