Would love to know what happened.

I doubt it was "hacked".

More likely overheard or a post-it note?

Lol, not much hacking by sounds of it, +1.

 

It found the fourth year pupils somehow got hold of a teacher’s username and password and logged into their email account.

If it's like here they'll type their password into the username box while projecting their screen

 

The whole year probably knew the answers - the cleverer ones probably put in a couple of "nearly-theres" so it didn't look too obvious.

At what point will the media actually learn what the word 'hacking' regarding computing means?

 

NOT hacking, same as the 'phone hacking' scandal - which was down to people not changing their answerphone pin from the default 1234.

This is my favourite of it.

 

“The only losers are the pupils involved but we will continue to work with them to ensure they are ready for the SQA exams.”

 

Nice way of the school saying the kids are losers

If it's like here they'll type their password into the username box while projecting their screen

Here they send a student to bring their laptop to the desk, with their username and password written on a post-it and stuck to the screen.

I can't even be bothered to try - so many local news sites are like this....I don't bother with them anymore!

Why isn't my smoothie box filtering that rubbish out!
