Hackers Provide a Better Future

 

In the rush to get ahead, it seems that students have found a new way to improve their scores through hackers that claim they have the ability to access the computer systems of universities and edit student scores. In some cases for as much as RMB 10,000, the illegal service promises to repair academic records by increasing recorded scores. According to one hacker, it takes between one and five working days to break into the system and change a score. Such services are very tempting to college students, who live with the reality that good university scores are essential for employment after school ends.

Dang - back in my day it was just crib sheets and notes written on your hands.

I've also read that nowadays, college term paper plagiarism (i.e. cutting and pasting from online sources) is so rampant in US universities that some professors are starting to assign in-class only writing assignments.

There was even an article about some kid who started a term paper writing company and ended up bilking his contracted writers (surprise, surprise) out of their payment.

All fine and dandy until one ends up with a job that people's lives depend on.
