Case Study - Key logger:
A group of students installed a keystroke-tracking program (this could also fall under malware or student hacking) on computers at their high school to grab the usernames and passwords of about 10% of the students, teachers, parents, and administrators that use the system. The students then used this password information to access the system to change grades for themselves and others. They did not seem to do anything else to the system while they had access.
