British infosec accreditation body CREST has declared that it will not be publishing its full report into last year's exam-cheating scandal after all, triggering anger from the cybersecurity community.
"The Report of the Independent Investigator contains information that was obtained in confidence and, therefore, in line with both the terms of the Process and CREST's Complaints and Resolution Measures, the Report is confidential and cannot be made public," said CREST in an update published on its website late on 10 May, right before the CyberUK conference began.
Multiple infosec people forwarded this statement to The Register and expressed concern that the scandal was being quietly buried by CREST.
One told us he was a strong believer in "what CREST qualifications should mean so I'm hoping that they don't brush it away as I don't honestly believe NCC are quite in the clear here!"
