We know that the requirement for robotic scanners was removed in the third RFP. This raises the question: what kind of scanners did COEMPT actually use? Why is the scan quality so poor?\u201d said Ramesh, General Secretary in charge of Congress Communications.<\/p>\n<p>The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Tuesday refuted claims of a social media user that the On-Screen Marking (OSM) was compromised by him and said that no security breaches have come to light.<\/p>\n<p>Assuring students about the strong safeguards implemented to ensure the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/morungexpress.com\/congress-alleges-cbse-security-privacy-breach-on-class-12-evaluation-portal\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congress alleges CBSE security, privacy breach on Class 12 evaluation portal | MorungExpress https:\/\/morungexpress.com\/congress-alleges-cbse-security-privacy-breach-on-class-12-evaluation-portal Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":260363,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/morungexpress.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/47522343_1780228927_20260410347F.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[30],"class_list":["post-260361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy","tag-breach"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260361"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260361"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260361\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":260365,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260361\/revisions\/260365"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
