Are you smarter than a third-grader? Because the online education system used by the Fairfax County public schools apparently is not.
Police believe that a 9-year-old McLean boy hacked into the Blackboard Learning System used by the county school system to change teachers' and staff members' passwords, change or delete course content, and change course enrollment. One of the victims was Fairfax Superintendent Jack D. Dale, according to an affidavit filed by a Fairfax detective in Fairfax Circuit Court this week...
Now they are reporting that the boy did not actually hack into the system. He had his teachers password.
