One time a kid at my high school got suspended and faced charges for accessing school servers. Except, they were unsecured servers (just directories sitting on the network, no password) with faculty SSN's in plain text.

And somehow they blamed him for accessing it 🙄

Same shit different day. Take control of your own digital security.
 
In high school we changed all the homepages in the computer room to meatspin.com

Wasent there to see the result when the next class to enter the room went online but it was probably lulzworthy :thumbsup:
 
Good. Once we have half the world's prison population for small and petty crimes and turn the state prisons over to private companies we can outsource them as cheap slave labor for business. Think of the economic opportunity for profit. 🙂
 
I don't think we had internet at school when I went there, instead it was all networked together. We just got on them to install Leisure Suit Larry for everyone to play.

It was probably set up so each user could use their own password for access rather than one single one for the entire network, that being a possibility using you last name is moronic and not noticing someone hanging around while your logging in is almost as bad.

Why wait? Prisoners are already being used as cheap laborers in the US.

I wonder what they would do to an 11-yr old that took over a college computer lab and made every comp scroll "DIE SCUM!"?
Why not a just a week of after-school detention for this kid?
 
There is a legal term, "attractive nuisance" essentially negligently allowing some tempting path to mischief, that should apply to this.

Why is the left always against programs that create jobs?

One of the many flaws in the criminal justice system is the failure to make inmates work.

The unfortunate risk is that some of our economy becomes accustomed to having very inexpensive laborers that can also have more abuse directed at them than a typical laborer. At that point, reducing crime (or reducing lengthy sentences for petty crimes) will be seen as a problem for certain people; it serves to incentivize giving more jail time to ensure a steady or growing pool of labor.

The TV show "Bait Car" shows cops leaving cars with the keys in the ignition and when somebody takes them they use tracking equipment to follow them, lock the doors and shut the car off by remote control and arrest the perpetrators for auto theft. They make it look like people were arguing and all got into one of the cars and left or a patrol cop pulls over an undercover "arrests" the undercover and they leave the bait car with the keys in it.

That actually happened to someone I know but with a bicycle. The guy got locked up overnight and had to pay a fine.
 
I was banned from the school computer labs for a month in grade eight for something similar. I guess I'm lucky I didn't grow up in 2015.
 
Considering that his crime was typing in a teacher's last name after watching the teacher type it in, should he really WANT to return to this school?
