I was wondering how challenging it is for hackers to penetrate the blackboard system and change their grades. For an MBA trying to get a job on Wall-Street straight A’s are extremely valuable when getting the pay that you want.
Former employees seem like the most dangerous threat. Disgruntled employees are known for heinous acts up to and including murder. Stealing from an ex-employer that the employee feels has wronged them almost seems justifiable. Having staff members change all passwords after a termination is a great idea. I can tell you about three combination/passwords from former employments that I can almost guarantee still work. I know how bad I hate changing my personal ones. I have over 15 different accounts that require log-ins and passwords. It would take about an hour month if I changed them that frequently. I know for a fact that my ex has the one for my e-mail account, and knowing this changes some of my e-mail behaviors. I could change it, but I actually like that they still tap in sometimes. I will give them the information that I want them to know. I am starting to sound like a small time social engineer myself.

Speaking of ex's-I still know my ex's social security number. Scary, huh? We really should watch what we tell other people, no matter how close they are to us.
And filtering the information for the audience is an interesting idea as well. Employers can adapt this to which employees see what based on their password.
Are you looking to make it on Wall Street Jean? All of my logins are pretty much variations on the same password -- changing a number or special character. Sounds to me like you're in the beginnings of becoming a social engineer with that ex.
I am the same way, i still have plenty of passwords that would still work at my prior occupations. I could easily go screw up some seriosu stuff. Changing the passwords after employees leave is a great idea especially if the employees left on bad terms
