Proctorio's Anti-Cheating Software Exposes Students to Hackers
- lloydatkinson 5y agoAny invasive software like this should be run in a virtual machine and then nuked once you’ve finished with it
- andrepew 5y agoAs someone who has been forced to use software like this, I'd be afraid to take measures like that lest the software flag it as tampering or evidence of cheating. My grades (or worse, my good standing with the integrity office) are held at gunpoint and I feel compelled to act accordingly.
- tata71 5y agoWhat's the line, for you?
- andrepew 5y agoHonestly, I couldn't say where my line would be. I'm doing post-grad stuff and have a career that isn't majorly dependant on it, so I can afford to be more choosy I guess. But in general, a lot of students are in debt and have their careers riding on their education. If they're undergrad, they may also have heavy family expectations stacked on top of all of that. For a lot of those students, there is no line. They'd take any kind of abuse to make it through.
