Twenty-one year-old student Hamed al-Khabaz was expelled from Montreal's Dawson College last November after uncovering a security flaw in his school's computer system. While working on a mobile app that would allow students to check their school email accounts, al- Khabaz stumbled upon a coding issue that jeopardised users' personal information. He reported the issue to Dawson administrators and ran security checks days later. Skytech, the company responsible for the school's email software accused al-Khabaz of a "cyber-attack". Weeks later the university formally expelled al-Khabaz, citing a "serious professional conduct issue". I think the School's management has a lot to learn about ethical hacking. In this age where tech giants like google reward young geniuses who are able to find a weak point in their almost flawless systems, its a very judgement. |
