From the way we've seen most schools respond to these types of reports from students you have to wonder if you were lucky that you couldn't figure out how to report it!

- mintplant 9y agoDefinitely. My high school's school district made a similar mistake with enabling directory listings, enumerating hundreds of documents with words like "Confidential" and "Audit Report" in the file names. Tried to report it at the time but I got the runaround from the school office; years later I'm glad I didn't manage to get any further with it.
- Natsu 9y agoWhen I found a way to bypass the login process back in university and thereby gain access to the previous users' network storage in university, I reported it anonymously for that very reason.
- roywiggins 9y agoThe time I accidentally took down the entire school website, I luckily did it at school and immediately told my understanding math teacher, who told IT directly, who came and asked me what I'd done, and fixed it within a couple minutes. In retrospect I dodged a huge bullet!
- SomeStupidPoint 9y agoCirca 2005, we got hired by the district for finding problems. Of course, we either found them during tech class (pre-req for A+ class) or after we'd asked the school tech for permission to explore (and been told it was okay as long as we documented what we learned/didn't do obviously malicious things). I think the worst I saw was a kid get suspended for a week then kicked off the network for the rest of the year. He got caught with a ton of warez, pirated stuff, etc on his share when we got investigated by the district for accidentally taking down the network because someone left Guild Wars auto-patching on. Good times.
