PETALING JAYA: The Education Ministry's online school examination analysis system, Sistem Analisis Peperiksaan Sekolah (SAPS), (sapsnkra.moe.gov.my/ibubapa2/index.php), has been taken down. The Star received an anonymous e-mail claiming that the site, introduced in July 2011 to centralise examination results from all states, is vulnerable to an attack called SQL Injection. "So to mitigate, the system owner must reconfigure the system with a secure connection. "It is advisable for the system owner to conduct a web penetration test so that the security weaknesses could be uncovered and reconfigured," he said. Teachers are required to key in students' examination and test results into this database, allowing parents to have real-time access to their children's academic results.
