International Baccalaureate Exam Hack Speculation Sparks Student Outrage

The International Baccalaureate disclosed a security incident: investigators observed increased malicious activity against its networks and confirmed a breach of 2018 employee data (names, positions, emails) through a third‑party vendor. IB found no evidence that current exam papers were compromised by a hack, attributing some leaks to students sharing exam content; the organization removed leaked material, warned schools about phishing risks, and is continuing its investigation while facing student petitions and reputational impact.
