A Montreal computer science student was expelled recently for finding IT security holes in the school’s student portal, exposing the confidential records of over 250,000 students attending Dawson College.
Hamed Al-Khabaz was working on creating a mobile application for students to have easier access to their school accounts. As he worked on his mobile application he probed the school’s portal, used by students in the Quebec CEGEP program. What Hamed discovered was that by simply exchanging student numbers in the encrypted links, he could easily find social insurance numbers, transcripts and even home addresses of his fellow students.
Hamed was quoted in a report we read on the IT security issues at Dawson College: “It was completely insecure,” he said. “Anyone in the world could log in and access someone’s data.”
Dawson College eventually expelled Hamed over concerns that his findings constituted a threat against the school. This happened after Hamed had accessed the student records a second time, “just to check if it had been fixed.” Hamed said he never had an opportunity to explain his findings to Dawson College and let them know that he was simply trying to help out.

More and more examples are surfacing daily in the news on organizations that have security gaps in corporate IT infrastructure and with their online applications.
