The publisher and educator Pearson suffers a cyber attack, that may have taken it’s source code, cloud and infrastructure data. Not a good start coming up to exam season here in the UK. Pearson manages GCSEs and A Levels through its Edexcel brand, as well as vocational qualifications and certifications through BTEC and Certiport, and high-stakes exams through Pearson VUE.Ã‚Â They also manage the Pearson Test of English (PTE) and other language tests.One hopes exam papers don’t end up in the wild.@Thaddeus Dziekanowski Brian D.
