Found on The Register on Monday, 27 October 2008
A 15-year-old high school student in New York State has been charged with three felonies after he allegedly accessed personnel records on his school's poorly configured computer network and then notified his principal of the security weakness.
Since news of the charges were reported late last week, hackers have criticized administrators for turning the student into a scapegoat for the school board's shoddy computer security.
Now take a guess what will happen next time a student will notice a major flaw in the school's system.
