Canadian Student Expelled After Finding Security Flaw In School Computer System by jeronimo(m): 9:20pm On Jan 22, 2013 |
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. |

Exactly what most Nigerian institutions would do. Ignorant people that can't learn, yet can't appreciate knowledge. Many young sharp minds have been turned down just like this. If this guy turns out to be a hard cyber criminal and attacks the school later, they will be calling the devil. |
