Hacking has become a common trend all over the world. The act has not only become more and more rampant for commercial gains but also for other reasons such as academic gains. This was the case in California where some students managed to hack into their class teacher’s account. This hacking was followed by an alteration of the grades which was obviously to their advantage so that the system can reflect that they passed the tests. This incident took place in Orange County and the students were learning in the Corona Del Mar High School which is located in the Newport Beach which is located In the Southern parts of California.
It is believed that the student used a technique that uses hardware key-logging to access the teacher’s logging

The administrator is required to review and analyze approximately 52,000 adjustment which have been made to the examination system for a period starting last year. The auditing will target all the changes that were made on the system without the proper authorization.
Even though the necessary measures have been taken so ensure that the culprits are punished and that the system is upgraded to a more secure state. The school has said that there may be many people who are involved or have been involved in the habit of cheating. The administration then explained that due to the increase use of technology, there is a risk that is always associated with it.
The school has taken upon to conduct fingerprinting and tracking the students so as to uncover the truth behind the saga. Employing the use of identification cards and monitoring the general activities when the students are out of school, are some of the techniques that the school has decided to adopt in tracking.
This security is essential since the students are well equipped to bypass the system. This is evident in the scenario that unfolded when the LA students were provided with iPads and within a short time they had unlocked them.
According to the school, very valuable information such as upcoming examinations and grading methods are at risk of being hacked.
Factors that made hacking easier The protection of information on social network seems to be hard unlike when a person is dealing with business
Students may feel peer pressure of cheating to keep up with fellow classmates that are cheating. Dashner says, “Researchers say that the internet is making it easier to cheat, but the number of student cheating has remained fairly constant from 1980’s to the 1990’s.”
Many students in today’s world are becoming lazy. As time is there, students find ways to cheat, and lessen their work load through unethical approaches. There are multiple stories from teachers that can just go on about the students that try to cheat the system. The ways of these students could be that they can’t read and are trying to cheat their way through the educational system.
schools and their cyber security is not good and that they need to fix it. The evidence is
Unfortunately, our situation is not unique. Across the nation schools are routinely subjected to “outside hacking, in-house errors, and even technology gaps at companies they work with”, making many students and employees vulnerable to identity theft (Davis, 2015, p.1). Schools can also be held responsible for paying significant legal fees and damages if private student academic information is breached (Bathon, 2013, p.1).
It might come as a surprise to you that some of the school’s current policies have put students’ education and safety in jeopardy. These flaws come about as a result of missed in-class notes and from the misuse of the key fob system. My solution to these quandaries is to require all teachers to record and upload their lectures to the internet and to replace fobs with a more secure, less inconvenient system.
Attached please find a completed Responsibility Form with your child’s explanation as to why the keys are missing as well as the Student AUP form that you and your child signed in September. I have discussed the need for ethical and responsible computer behavior with the students; they were reminded that unacceptable use of electronic devices has consequences and that you would be reminded of the same. The students also had restricted access to their Netbooks during the Daily Five for a two week period. Your child’s Netbooks will need to be repaired prior to the beginning of the next school year and the students are responsible for paying the cost of $$$$to the "Name of school district". (This can be done in cash or by check.) In addition, should any future action such as this happens, an increased disciplinary action will be imposed.
Private information that was previously segregated now becomes easily accessible to employers, colleagues, recruiters, and clients, among other perhaps unintended audiences” (Abril, 2012, para. 4). Yes, most social media sites attain privacy settings but one must always remember there are hiccups in everything on the internet and no guarantees leaks will not occur.
Sophomore year of high school us students returned to school. We were all excited for class, and to use the technology that had been introduced in the years prior. I got into my first hour class and Mrs. Coster announced to the class, “Please go to schoology and open up the syllabus.” I opened up my chromebook and attempted to navigate to Schoology.com, but I did not have any success. I kept getting an error saying, “access denied due to education.” Having some knowledge about computers, I concluded that I was not logged into my lightspeed account. I turned to my friend and asked him, “Hey, do you know how we get our Lightspeed logins?” Matt replied, “Your username would be ‘l8vanvleet’ and your password would be your
This analysis discusses some issues and requirements to correct these issues that are outlined in the Turn Key University (TKU) data breach case study. In addition to these issues and requirements, some applicable laws will be discussed and some controls will be suggested for implementation.
The root problem is that HOPE recipients’ confidential information was able to be leaked over the search engines because of technicians’ human error by not transferring over the vital file to the servers when they performed a software upgrade. However, although this breach of confidential information was known, measurements was not quickly put in place to have the matter rectify, to prevent more threats. The relevant authority although being aware of this serious matter, failed to inform the students, therefore the trust was lost and a major concern to future recipients about the safety and security of their confidential information.
In the early days of computing, a hacker was primarily referred to as a computer guru, someone who is extremely technical with a high expertise in computer also known as “Expert Programmers”. Nevertheless, as technology is advancing at a face pace, hacking has adopted a completely different definition. The modern definition is someone who access a computer system primarily to steal or destroy information. Hacking has caused major harm in the realm of technology. Over the years, hackers have become much more lethal in their craft. They manage to break into complex information systems from entities such as banks, government agencies, and private businesses. Furthermore, they often manipulate their victims through social engineering in order to obtain financial benefits. Hackers hold different label such as: black hat hacker and white hat hacker in which all have their own motives.
Internet security and ethical use of technology in the classroom is vital to a student’s academic success. Internet security ensures that the technologies used in the classroom stay operationally problem free as well as keeps students safe from internet predators. Ethical guidelines ensure proper appropriate use of technology that does not violate school rules or laws put in place by the federal and state governments.
Social networking sites such as Twitter or Facebook have created a new ethical dilemma for many businesses. Corporations, small businesses, and even universities are struggling create policies to manage their employees social networking behaviors. Social networking access, particularly for recruiters, can provide personal information about potential employees, which would otherwise not be available. A business must follow statutes and guidelines when disclosing information to the public. Individuals on social networking sites have no such constraints. Employees can and do make comments about their employers online. Employers can and do watch what employees post online. Any individual can send or post potentially damaging information
Almost 90 percent of our society now depends on complex computer based system. With the increasingly use of computer and explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things: electronic commerce, online banking, e-mail, video conferencing etc. The improvement of systems security to prevent criminal hacker has become an important concern to society. There are many ways to protect those information systems; it seems that the Ethical Hacking is a better way.

In this article will analysis the ethical, legal, and ethical implications of this issue.
People are increasingly sharing their lives online through social networking sites with little concern for who may be viewing their information. This has become an issue in current times and is up for debate based on the ethical issues associated with Social Media. People don’t realize joining a social network is like joining a community. As any community in real life, your business has a place in the community but should not invade one’s privacy. Social networking is one of the most popular methods apart from forum marketing that is available to Internet users today.
