>Be grateful that this breach in our school’s security has been discovered by students and not someone with more malicious and potentially harmful intentions
These students were just trying to use the wi-fi . They are actually good students who were smart enough to figure out how to do that. With all the personal information that is available there, what I want to know is what is the school district doing to protect our children’s privacy?
These kids’ motives were innocent, yet unwittingly, they uncovered a serious problem. I sincerely hope that the school administration will not use these students as a scape goat to take the attention away from their own culpability. And if they try to, I hope the public will not let them get away with it.
Our schools have in their possession personal information about our children. We have a right to expect that this information is well protected. When high school students merely seeking to use the wi-fi service are able to in effect, breach this security, the onus is on the school administration to take responsibility.
These kids meant no harm and I for one am grateful that this breach in our school’s security has been discovered by them and not someone with more malicious and potentially harmful intentions. Now it is up to the administration to fix this problem and insure the privacy of our students. To me, that is far more important than punishing these kids.
The victims here are all of the students whose personal information is not being properly protected. The students that hacked into the wi-fi are not responsible for that, the school administrators are.
if you are suggesting that these administrators are somehow the victims in this, you are sadly out of touch with reality
