Carleton University Hacker Decides to Leave School
As a consequence of exposing a flaw in the university security system, Mansour Moufid is leaving Carleton University:
“A Carleton University student has quit school after being hit with a fine and other sanctions for hacking into a university computer to steal identification and financial data from 32 student cards, then sending a report to the victims and the university detailing how he did it.
Mansour Moufid, 20, a second-year math student who used the alias Kasper Holmberg in his report, said he made his decision Thursday after receiving a letter from the university detailing his punishment.”

Mr Moufid may face criminal charges. Some in the university community considers Mr Moufid as a ‘whistle blower’ who exposed an unacceptable flaw in security. Obviously, Carleton University disagrees.
