The Institute of Distance and Open Learning (IDOL), was targeted by the cyberattack that impacted on the examination server.
Nearly 9,000 IDOL students were due to take their third-year Bachelor of Commerce and Arts exams, but more than 90% were unable to access the exam link.
The exam for the day was postponed in a statement from IDOL. Additionally, they have postponed the scheduled tests as a result of the issue with the exam server.
Exam administrators claimed that a technical issue was to blame for the error in a statement they issued on.
