Kicked off school network

Hypothetically---

 

UncleDavid is sitting in a CIA office for an interview. The stupid interviewer left a Top Secret file opened on his desk and went to the bathroom. UncleDavid reads some of that Top Secret info. Does that make him a spy? Is what he did illegal? Or is it human nature?

Then let them know that they have a security hole that their idiot IT guy should have closed before ever turning laptops over to a bunch of high school kids.

Our district doesn't give laptops to kids -- this was done on a dekstop in a computer lab.

I know of a few situations where people in mi were promoted because they knew the system and used it to benifit themselves lol.

 

I doubt a school would liek to be told of their security problems by one of their students though. It depends, but some people would take offence even if it was an efort done to raise awarnes.

Yeah I've learned it's best not to **** with that .!

[Fatawan]

I disagree. 2 things I have learned-

1. Never fess up unless confronted.

2. It's always better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

 

3. Fess up if your buddy overhears that you have been busted, before you are confronted.

 

I am 42 years old, and if a high school age kid was to fess up to something like this on his own accord, I would be impressed. Pissed for what he did, but impressed.

[UncleDavid218]

So I'm thinking about calling there and saying

 

"Hi, this is David Humes I am a junior at Duluth Central Highschool. Yesterday I did something I shouldn't have on the school computers and it's possibly something I could get in trouble for."

 

And explain what I did.

 

Obviously it wont be that forward, I'll be more relaxed, but that's the general idea.

this is exactly what is wrong with kids today and adults also

 

this is weak minded, and is classless

 

real, mature human beings will fess up BEFORE confrontation, and real mature human beings who have a shred of decency will ask for permission and if denied, they will ACCEPT it

 

Uncle David: next time don't go breaking rules. You knew better than to do what you did. Fess up, and accept your punishment as a mature, responsible man who will accept his fate for his actions.

Thanks Travis, I'm in the process of getting the number of the server admin/head of technology

Do the Right thing Dave, Come clean. You are a smart kid and obviously one with a good conscience.....You will gain from the experience and probably be more respected, not only for your intelligence but for your character. IMHO

In this hypothetical situation technically --

 

Does that make him a spy?

Yes

 

Is what he did illegal?

Yes

 

Or is it human nature?

Yes

 

 

But in my opinion not in Dave’s case.

 

 

I'm a good guy (at least I'd like to think so) so I'm going to own up to it.

No doubt you are a good guy.

[UncleDavid218]

I called and left a message

 

I'll keep trying until 3:00PM when they close

In an ideal world. This is not an ideal world. That's OK, live in fantasyland. It has no bearing on me- I know what the big-bad world is capable of; I've experienced it first hand.
