MODERATORS
Let me comment before finishing the article: this is a software's lack of security problem, not a young teenager's problem.
The fact they were breached, that's nothing new. Same goes for everyone's SSN under the sun, who cares?! The fact that a young person is owning up to it now, they have to punish and make such a big example out of him, it distracts from the failure of big tech...
Edit: another reason not to put all your eggs in one basket. PowerSchool is an American tech company, public on NYSE in 2021, and now owned by Bain Capital... Would you PLEASE THINK OF THOSE INVESTORS!!!
