Poor Judgement or Hacking? (Score 1)

Poor Judgement is a possibility here for sure. However, "hacking" is just plain crazy. They didn't hack anything and I agree with most of the postings that say that if anything, the schools should be going after the web people for creating such an insecure system. Did the schools prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the students were the ones that actually looked at the admissions status? Maybe it was someone else. If the students wanted to, I think they each may have a good case for going after the schools for libel and defamation of character lawsuits. Forcing the school to either "put up or shut up." Sounds like they were made examples of in the harshest of ways. And that just isn't right. The way the school handled the situation makes me wonder about it's own ethics.
