Hacker Breaches Business School Admissions Site, Shares Instructions
We don’t talk about Internet security very much here. Maybe we should.
A business school applicant figured out how to get into ApplyYourself, a service used by many business schools across the nation, including Harvard Business School, to manage admissions information. He shared how to do it in a forum on BusinessWeek’s Web site. Many other applicants followed his instructions. Their actions might have put them in jeopardy since business school staffers know who some of the applicants who breached security are and admissions decisions haven’t been finalized yet.
