Our school district has always had 3 district servers. One server for administrative, one for staff and one for student use as security safeguard. This practice was started a good 20+ years ago long before hacking became the game it is today. In 2003 a boy in my DDs class in middle school so maybe 11-12 years old was arrested in the school. He had managed while in the computer lab to hack the administrative centers server which was not in the same building. Nothing became of the arrest, he just wanted to see if he could hack it.
This kid for years had already been teaching teachers how to use digital cameras, load CD-Roms, operate software.
Thinking of how new computers were to schools and staff that at that time feared them, did not originally embrace or have any education with them this kid by age 7 knew at least as much as the tech director especially when it came to their inner workings.
Just think of what this 22 or 23 year old young man would be capable of now.![]()
I tend to think that the world has tipped off its axis, and everything is jungle rules now. How many times have we all heard about internet criminals who get hired by big companies, to come in and "help" them fix/upgrade their own computer security systems from hackers, etc.??!! The "message" is that if you commit a crime, you can get a really good, legitimate job out of that!!
