香港考试及评核局（HKEAA）的信息系统遭入侵，导致近1.7万名报考两项国际考试的内地学生个人数据泄露。
The personal data of nearly 17,000 mainland Chinese-based students who applied to take two international exams through the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) has been leaked after its information system was compromised.
考评局表示，泄露数据包括约1.69万名学生的姓名、出生日期和电邮地址。考评局补充称，没有证据显示香港中学文凭考试（HKDSE）或其他考试受到影响。
The authority said the leaked data included the names, dates of birth and email addresses of about 16,900 students. It added that there was no evidence that the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE) or any other examinations had been affected.
考评局称：“考评局向受影响人士致歉，并将采取一切可行措施，将事件对他们的影响降至最低。”
“The HKEAA apologises to the affected individuals and will take all feasible measures to minimise the impact of the incident on them,” it said.
考评局表示，这起于周四被发现的网络安全事件，涉及一个用于少数国际考试的信息系统。考评局已向警方报案，并通知个人资料私隐专员公署。
The authority said the cybersecurity incident, identified on Thursday, involved an information system used for a small number of international examinations. It had reported the incident to police and notified the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data.
考评局强调，文凭试及大多数国际考试的报名系统，与受影响系统是分开且独立的。
It stressed that the registration systems for the HKDSE and most international examinations were separate from and independent of the compromised system.
考评局称，已即时采取保护措施，并展开全面调查，以厘定事件成因及影响范围。考评局亦已通知相关考试机构，并正安排通知受影响人士。
The authority said it immediately took protective measures and launched a comprehensive investigation to determine the cause of the incident and the extent of its impact. It had also notified the relevant examination organisation and was arranging to notify those affected.
考评局表示：“考评局将继续全面检讨其信息系统的保安措施，加强系统保护及监察，并根据调查结果采取适当跟进措施。”私隐专员表示，已根据既定程序展开调查。
“The HKEAA will continue to conduct a comprehensive review of the security measures for its information systems, strengthen system protection and monitoring, and take appropriate follow-up measures in light of the investigation findings,” it said. The privacy commissioner said it had launched an investigation into the incident in accordance with established procedures.
