VCAA investigating after website hacked during exam period

Exams for students in Victoria are scheduled through to November 18.

The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) is investigating after its website was hacked during the exam period.

Earlier this evening the VCAA home page was displaying an error message that has since been replaced with a message saying "We'll be right back".

"Our site is currently undergoing maintenance," the website states.

"We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience."

A VCAA spokesperson confirmed the page was hacked earlier today.

"The VCAA is conducting a forensic investigation to determine the extent of the attack," they said in a statement.

"There is no indication that exam papers from today or previous weeks have been accessed."

Exams for students in Victoria are scheduled through to November 18.
