New Delhi: The Meghalaya Board of School Education declared the results for class 10 board (SSLC) exam and class 12 (HSSLC) Arts stream students on Tuesday. The results are now available on the board’s official website mbose.in and can be downloaded as a PDF booklet.

Earlier, the results of 20 toppers of SSLC were leaked on Facebook on Monday night, a day before its official declaration by MBoSE, which was confirmed by the board’s controller of examinations, T.R. Laloo. The MBoSE is probing the source of the leak.

“It is unfortunate. It never happened. It could be possible that the websites which have the results were hacked. We are talking to the technical experts to find out the reason,” The Shillong Times quoted Laloo as saying.

The official said he came to know that it was leaked on Facebook and “some people who were close to us also told us that it happened, the report adds. It also said that the Meghalaya board took the matter with the technical personnel of MBoSE and denied it as an inside job.

The result for Meghalaya Board class 12 Science, Commerce, and Vocational stream students were already declared on 8 May.

The result will also be available through SMS in mobile phones.

Tech Update

Vanguard says app glitch led to inflated balances shown on Apple devices

An “application glitch” led some Vanguard Group clients to see an inflated account balance displayed on their Apple mobile devices, a spokeswoman said – a hiccup that left at least one user cheering the apparent extra funds.

The issue did not affect clients’ actual balances or transactions, the spokeswoman for the index fund manager, Katie Henderson Hirt, said on Monday.

She added it was seen by people using Vanguard software applications on their iPhones, iPads or iWatches. Vanguard expected to have the issue fixed on Monday evening, she said.

Asked how many devices were affected, Hirt said the impact was a “modest number overall.” On average just 16 percent of logons to vanguard.com come from an Apple device, she said, and of those about 11 percent visit the personal performance page where they would have seen the inflated balance.

The problem related to the fact that Friday was the last trading day of April, she said. While the issue was not seen before, she said it was not caused by hacking.

One user of the app, Peter Lanphear of Bergen, New York, flagged the problem on Twitter on Monday and said in a followup conversation that he first noticed on Sunday that the app displayed a balance roughly $21,000 higher than it should have been, double the correct number.

Told it was too bad he could not keep the extra money, Lanphear replied “That’s what I said to them lol.”
