Final Exam Results Leaked

Few days before the real date of final examination results released, it had leaked online. Everyone was sharing in Facebook the link to check the results.

Supposing, everyone can check their final exam results on 20 June but on 17 June, the link to check the results was shared in the social media and it had create an uproar to everyone.


All we need to do was login to our UUM Portal first and then click on this link, http://www.umis.uum.edu.my/umis/biodata/keputusan_pep.jsp?term=A102&valid=true to check the results of current semester. The link was get from the UUM Biodata and was hidden in our Biodata for few days before  20 June.


Although, our MPP Facebook fanpage had explained on the situation but the reason given by them wasn't acceptable. It was impossible for someone to hack into the university computer and get all the students results and so kind to share to everyone. If I were the hacker, I would prefer to hack into the system and change my academic results rather. 

Actually, there wasn't any hacking process needed, all we need to do is login into our Portal, go to the Biodata, inside there, we can check our previous semester examination results, we just need to change the semester to A102 then we can get the results for that semester. Similarly to our Add Drop process through portal.

Few days before the results released, they would hidden the link to avoid people to check it but yet there was always clever persons to unveil it. This method can be reused for our coming final examination.
