Hello All!
The local papers have been much exercised by the fact that a bunch of
junior crackers got into the online grade files at Winston Churchill
High School in Montgomery County. Apparently, they placed USB key stroke
recorders and freebie programs on teachers' computers and thus got the
passwords. Not only did they modify their own grades but they reduced
those of people they disliked.
Tho' it is difficult to get people to change their passwords, are there
not encrypting devices activated by fingerprints and other ways of
achieving greater security?
