UCSB Student Engineers Grade Hack

An anonymous reader writes "The UCSB Daily Nexus reports "A UCSB student is being charged with four felonies after she allegedly stole the identity of two professors and used the information to change her own and several other students' grades, police said." The article goes on to note that, though working a few tricks to get into the system, she was fairly unsophisticated, and in fact failed to conceal her IP address from authorities. With other computing snafus recently making headlines, are universities too careless with their data?"

That this is significant slashdot news. The woman did the wrong thing, and didn't even do it well. What's the deal? That she hacked, or that she was caught? She fsked up and now she pays the price. Nothing to see here, folks, move along...
