The fact that the administration didn't choose to sue them to oblivion is refreshing. I hope we'll see a trend in the future of educator being smart enough to admit that they made a mistake and to encourage the students to develop their talent.

One can only hope.

Probably helps that "We prepared complete documentation of everything we did, including recommendations to remediate the vulnerabilities we discovered. We went a comprehensive 26-page penetration test report to the D214 tech team and worked with them to help secure their network."

That hasn't helped in the past. Frankly I think they were naive to reveal themselves no matter what the authorities said. It hasn't gone nearly as well for other people.

The poster/hacker actually addresses this -- he doesn't reveal himself until after graduation, keeps his fellow hackers secret still, and mentions that he was most likely the prime suspect in the district anyway. Seems like a fair tradeoff if he wanted to make this blog post, though school districts could be nasty and litigious, I guess.

It's still a terrible idea to admit to committing a crime under your real name before the statute of limitations has run out

>>duped+Hb
Is there even a statute of limitations for this kind of thing? Seems way better to just never admit to it at all.

The CFAA has a statute of limitations of 2 years.
