Berkeley HS student tried to rig his own election, exposing cybersecurity flaws

Large-scale voting fraud in a Berkeley High student government election has gotten two candidates disqualified and revealed a vulnerability in the district’s technology system. When kids enter a Berkeley middle or high school, they get an email address from the district, which is always a student’s first and last name. If a student does not change the default password, “anyone with access to your student ID number will be able to access and delete your emails, schoolwork, personal documents and anything stored on your Google Drive,” Stern wrote in his message to the student body.
