Looking at the content of the post the user name seems appropriate.

@notsmart Let me give you an eSafety lesson. You have proved your posting name by giving us your date of birth and your county in your public profile. It is a work of minutes for every Dorset network manager to check your information against the very system you wish to hack and thus have a pretty good idea who you are... and also work out who your girlfriend is by default.

 

Given that edugeek's membership is in the thousands and the majority of members are in the UK... and at least one of the moderators, who can access far more information about you than ordinary members, is based in Dorset... the chances of you being tracked down are high.

 

Perhaps you ought to stick with your stated hobbies in your profile of cooking and making people happy. Breaking the law, and be clear that hacking is against the law, doesn't make anyone happy.

Why why why oh why does every kid wanna hack SIMS... how very old and boring! Be more original if you are gonna be a aggravating little tyke.

[windowsman]

@notsmart A bit of life advice for you,

Do not come onto a IT Webpage and ask advice to hack professional software.

SIMS contains VERY personal information to students, staff, parents etc, and this is putting them at risk and their details.

Also, if you are going to post anything on a forum site such as this, please do not post slang (e.g. 'ngl', 'plz')

I hope this is a lesson to you.

 

Kind Regards

This has to be a joke, right? The fact that someone would come here and ask this and have the username notsmart is just too much.

[elsiegee40]

Oh the irony... we have had so many youngsters asking about sims on here and more than one very recently. Edited December 6, 2014 by elsiegee40

I think your ex-girlfriend may also outperform you in her English language GCSE's as well.

[hardtailstar]

So did he manage it?? lol..... I cant see how these accounts do not realize that this isn't a hacking site.

 

Impressing a girl by hacking is a new one on me!

Have you tried Admin and Password?

This actually brings up a point... What are people's stances on "heads up" emails?

 

I've seen a few threads like this across the internet and I've been tempted to shoot off an email [from my work account] to let the school know.

[synaesthesia]

Communication is important. It's important to strike a balance regarding how much information is provided, and naturally you don't want to give people information overload. However, e-safety issues are important and we quite often send out heads-up emails to raise awareness of problems should they arise; usually this is regarding "human" problems such as phishing attacks or how ICT suites/systems are treated at certain times of the day, please be aware/be vigilant etc.

Sometimes it may be better to provide information like that elsewhere to help prevent overload; digital signage, intranet etc.

IIRC the last one I saw was a kid claiming to be in a boarding school asking how to bypass restrictions to watch "adult entertainment".

 

Was pretty easy to figure out where it was... it's the only boarding school in that area.

We have had at least 3 in the last fortnight

@X-13 If its to do with my school then I always send a heads up email to Staff. If it concerns another school then I say something to my head who then passes it on.

 

Easiest way for the other school head to listen is for another head to tell them.

Don't joke - there will be schools with this

Then perhaps they should hire new IT staff.

The admin of MIS systems May not be anything to do with IT Staff. Indeed it can be a struggle to get access to such systems even from a troubleshooting point of view in some places.

[matt40k]

Well I think we've scared the poor lad off. If you are still hanging around, try this job application form - Job Application

 

Password security isn't a IT problem. It's a life skill. Its like reading and writing. If you have staff who don't can't set a secure password, I'd be questioning why you've hired them and how your going to support them (ie hire a PA). And remember, SIMS isn't IT system like Active Directory or Spiceworks. It's IT application, just like online banking. You're gonna get involve when the internet goes down, but you'd be dammed if your getting access.

[IT_Ninja]

I'm curious, who allows access to a 'student' on a computer with SIMS on it, is this common practice?

 

Best practice would be to separate them with Student and Staff computers, granting of course only Staff computers access to SIMS?

 

It seems illogical otherwise...

[GREED]

Teacher PCs in classroom? IT suite used for training? I don't think there are whole school setups where there is 100% exclusive split between staff and student use (a student would NEVER have access to a 'staff' PC)

Yep. Training and teacher PC's in classrooms for us. The kids don't have access to c drives or have the shortcuts to run SIMS so it really isn't an issue even if they did have user accounts!
