Hyderabad, June 11 -- Nisarga Adhikary, a 19-year-old cybersecurity researcher, has been appointed as an Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and Threat Intelligence Engineer at IIT Kanpur's technology innovation hub, C3iHub, weeks after his public disclosure of security vulnerabilities in the CBSE's examination infrastructure put him in the national spotlight.

According to a report by India Today, Adhikary first drew attention after identifying security flaws in CBSE's Online Submission of Marks (OSM) portal - a platform used by schools to upload student scores - and reporting them responsibly rather than exploiting them. He also demonstrated the alleged weaknesses by playing the viral "Bad Apple" animation on a CBSE portal.
