thatshortkid writes "Local news in Chicago is reporting about two Hinsdale Central High School students who breached their school's computer system and retrieved all of their peers' (plus staff's) Social Security Numbers. They claim they have destroyed the information and haven't given it out, but the SSA and FTC have been alerted for good measure. While they claim their motive was to prove that the breach could take place and no malice was involved, they face possible school disciplinary action and criminal charges."

What ever happened to the good old days, when all high schoolers did was smoke pot and play video games?
