The government has made changes to the TS-bPASS (Telangana State Building Permission Approval & Self Certification System) software to block access to persons other than those authorised, to make the system foolproof against misuse.
The changes have been made in order to avoid any scam similar to the one that happened in the Telangana State Public Service Commission. In TSPSC scam, which was exposed in March this year, 15 question papers pertaining to various competitive exams were leaked as unauthorised persons gained access to the server where the papers were stored.
The accused in the scam secured access to the question papers using the login ID and password of the Confidential Section, reportedly after stealing the same from the diary of a higher official.
