[Swede]

Holy,if a fifteen year old can do it,imagine what the real pros can do.



A 15-year-old teenager from Ontario has been arrested and charged with criminal offenses after breaking into Thames Valley District school board's website and exposing the passwords of thousands of students.

The kid made headlines in the local press two weeks ago, after he openly admitted to the hack. He claims that he did it in order to make a point, after teachers failed to listen to his warnings about the student portal being insecure.

"I did it to prove to people that their information isn’t as secure as they think, and so they should use different passwords for things, and to get the message across that the website was insecure, because the teachers sure didn’t listen to me," he wrote on Facebook.
