\nHigh school changes every student\u2019s password to \u2018Ch@ngeme!\u2019<\/br>
\n2023-06-29 21:56:57<\/br><\/p>\n

After a cybersecurity audit mistakenly reset everyone\u2019s password, a high school changed every student\u2019s password to \u201cCh@ngeme!\u201d giving every student the chance to hack into any other student\u2019s account, according to emails obtained by TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

Last week, Oak Park and River Forest (OPRF<\/a>) High School in Illinois told parents that during a cybersecurity audit, \u201cdue to an unexpected vendor error, the system reset every student\u2019s password, preventing students from being able to log in to their Google account.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo fix this, we have reset your child\u2019s password to Ch@ngeme! so that they can once again access their Google account. This password change will take place beginning at 4 p.m. today,\u201d the school, which has around 3,000 students<\/a>, wrote in an email dated June 22. \u201cWe strongly suggest that your child update this password to their own unique password as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Needless to say, giving everyone the same password is not how an organization should force a password reset. The usual procedure is to force log out every user, and then prompt them to change their password the next time they try to log in.<\/p>\n

Manning Peterson, the mother of an OPRF student, replied that \u201cthis is terribly insecure and you have just invited every single students [sic] accounts to get hacked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peterson said that after this email, she tried to reset her son\u2019s password but it wasn\u2019t possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy son and I were able to log into several of his peers [sic] google accounts, which gave access to all emails, papers, class work\u2014anything saved on google drive (docs sheets and slides),\u201d Peterson said in an email to TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

A day later, the school realized the mistake and told parents in an email that the Education Technology Department \u201cwill be emailing you a special password process over the weekend that will be unique to your specific student.\u201d<\/p>\n

OPRF superintendent Greg Johnson and assistant superintendent\/principal Lynda Parker did not respond to multiple requests for comment sent via email.<\/p>\n
