Princeton Hacks Yale, Harvard Not Surprised
Semji Rkim writes: "Yale Daily News is running a story of several occassions in which Princeton officials entered the Yale Online website and viewed admissions decisions. Princeton officials claim they were simply researching security for their own website. Reportedly the website, on initial log-in, would show applicants either a congratulatory fireworks display or a rejection notice. Princeton officials informally mentioned that they had accessed students' records on Yale's admissions site at an Ivy League deans' conference. The Yale website apparently used names, birth dates, and social security information as unique identifiers to allow access to the site. They are considering adding a PIN in the future."
Just get posted on /. and *nobody* will be able to get in for a while.
So, how long before we get some form of legal action . . . .
In unrelated news, the Big Five auditing firm Arthur Andersen today announced that they have decided to increase the number of job placement interviews at Princeton University in the upcoming year. A spokeperson for Arthur Andersen said that the academic and social environment at Princeton helps to produce the type of high quality people that they desired for their firm.
If you don't like the look (a parody of slashdot), change it in your preferences. As for comment posting... Shit, I must have broken that yesterday.
Damnit, boy, you make Slashdot look professional!
Weird I saw that movie Yesterday. Or did I??
Slashdot is professional (as in, for-profit bastard corporation). I'm not.
Your opinions seem a bit warped. Maybe you should get out of the house more an experience some of the "real world" ..?
