    If you were in highschool at the time, really the only ethical thing to do for someone in your position is to delete all the files and shine a light on their bad security practices, but don’t say anything about it to anyone. It’s that last bit that always gets you in trouble. Absolute candor is something adults almost never want to hear from children.

      Couldn’t you just rename it to something obvious so as to make people think it was gone whilst leaving all the valuable data intact. mv valuableData.whatever valuableData.thiswholethingisvulnerablefixit

        No then they just start using it with that new name and act like nothing happened.

      genuinely think of the teachers

        My teacher one year gave me an F because he didn’t bother to grade anything in a timely fashion, also didn’t store (or organize) any student assignments that had been handed in, and when the end of the year came made me go digging through a giant stack of everyone’s assignments to find mine to prove I deserved a reasonable grade AFTER I had already been sent home with an F. I eventually got the grade I deserved, but I shouldn’t have had to fight for it like that. Apparently this was a common routine for this teacher, but lots of students didn’t bother to fight it. It didn’t get fixed until that cabinet was physically emptied and I handed all the assignments back to their authors.

        I am thinking of the teachers. And I think OPs situation is remarkably similar. But kids, being kids, will not be heard by adults when they shout warnings, like “Why haven’t you graded and returned any of my assignments yet this term?” or “This valuable/dangerous thing should be secured, who responsibility is that?” It may not be moral advice, but like the song says, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

    None. Just cheat. It will prepare you for the real world better than pretending to respect the authority of morons.

    A pair of scissors, various magazines, and the postal service.

      I suppose having a lawyer notify the school would be ideal. Most likely too expensive, though. So, yeah, ransom letter it is.

        Anonymity here is the key.

    Depending on where you are, either the regional / national school system administration, or some random local journalist
