Fake Exam Portals Are on the Rise – Here’s How to Protect Your Child

The exam season is a time of stress—not just for students, but now for cybersecurity teams too. Across the UK and globally, a new wave of cyber threats is targeting school students and parents through fake exam portals, phishing links, and malicious download traps.

What looks like a simple link to check grades or download an admit card could, in reality, be a gateway for data theft or malware infection.

🎯 The Cyber Trap: What’s Happening?

Hackers are now creating lookalike websites that mimic official school portals, offering:

• “Free mock tests” that steal personal info

• “Marksheet downloads” that trigger malware

• “Login portals” for parents that capture credentials

Students, in a hurry or under pressure, often don’t verify URLs. And that’s all it takes.

📉 The Risks

• Stolen identity – Names, DOBs, phone numbers, and addresses get sold on dark web marketplaces

• Device infection – Phones or laptops become compromised, leading to deeper privacy breaches

• Emotional stress – Students may blame themselves and lose trust in digital systems meant to help them
