Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes

Posted by samzenpus on from the cheating-made-easy dept.

handy_vandal writes "A 16-year-old student has been charged with a misdemeanor for rigging a keystroke-recording device onto a teacher's computer. School district police received a tip from students that the boy was trying to sell answers to final exams. The District Attorney's Office has charged the teen with breach of computer information, a Class B misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2,000 and up to 180 days in jail. This sort of thing has happened before. The problem is so pervasive that the GRE board has switched from computers back to paper and pencil."

    Back in my high school spanish class, the teacher made an offer that if anyone could figure out his Windows screensaver password (which was a spanish nickname his grandma gave him), he'd give that person an A for the year. The fool.
