The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has dismissed social media claims of a security breach in its examination-related portal, clarifying that the cited website is only an examiner training platform and not linked to exam records. ICAI assured that no candidate data was compromised, urged stakeholders to ignore rumours, and warned of legal action against those spreading false claims.

New Delhi: The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) on Thursday rubbished social media messages claiming a security breach in its examination-related portal, assuring students that the integrity of the examination has not been violated.

Advising students to ignore false, baseless and mischievous campaign on social media, the Institute, in a statement, said, "The ICAI has come across certain posts and reports circulating in social media alleging a security breach in an ICAI examination-related portal and claimed unauthorised access to ICAI examination records. These unverified claims have caused concern and confusion among students, members and other stakeholders."

"In this regard, ICAI clarifies that the portal being referred to, namely examiners.icaiexam.icai.org, is a training portal used exclusively for examiner orientation and has nothing to do with exam-related records as claimed in these social media posts," it added.

The Institute said, "The ICAI assure all stakeholders that there has been no compromise of candidates' examination records, answer books, marks data, or any sensitive information related to the examination process."
