ZATAZ Magazine » Piratage de plusieurs universités françaises

ZATAZ Magazine » Piratage de plusieurs universités françaises | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Il se nomme TheDestroyer. A première vue, un francophone qui a décidé de lancer sa propre guerre à l’encontre de l’Education Nationale Française.


Pourquoi une telle cible ? La rédaction de zataz.com a pu entrer en contact avec l’internaute et tenter de comprendre ses motivations : “Je peux vous dire, possible étudiants dans une université française, vos données sont à l’air libre, accessible au premier crétin capable d’utiliser des logiciels de piratage“. Ses preuves ?


En quelques jours, l’hacktiviste, qui semble vouloir dénoncer un laxisme au sein des universités françaises dès qu’il s’agit d’informatique et de données privées, a piraté Lyon 1, Lyon 2, L’université du Havre, de Montpellier 1, Paris Diderot, Jussieu ou encore Poitiers. Il s’est invité directement dans les serveurs.

Iowa State University servers breached, made to mine Bitcoins

Iowa State University servers breached, made to mine Bitcoins | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Iowa State University has revealed yesterday that five of its departmental servers on campus have been hacked, and that Social Security numbers of nearly 30,000 of its past and present students might have been stolen.

The good news is that while that data was contained on three of the compromised servers, there is no evidence that it has actually been accesses and/or exfiltrated.

The University's IT staff believes that the servers were targeted not for the information they contained, but for their computing power - the attackers have apparently been using them to mine Bitcoins.

For 1st time, MIT's free online classes can lead to degree

For 1st time, MIT's free online classes can lead to degree | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has offered free online courses for the last four years with one major downside: They didn't count toward a degree. That's about to change.
In a pilot project announced Wednesday, students will be able to take a semester of free online courses in one of MIT's graduate programs and then, if they pay a "modest fee" of about $1,500 and pass an exam, they will earn a MicroMaster's credential, the school said.
The new credential represents half of the university's one-year master's degree program in supply chain management. As part of the pilot project, students who perform well in the online half can take an exam to apply for the second semester on campus. Those who get in would pay $33,000, about half the cost of the yearlong program.
"Anyone who wants to be here now has a shot to be here," MIT President L. Rafael Reif said. "They have a chance to prove in advance that they can do the work."

Wendy Meyers's curator insight, May 14, 2014 8:00 PM

Freeman says he’s started using such techniques even in large classes. “My introductory biology course has gotten up to 700 students,” he says. “For the ultimate class session—I don’t say lecture—I’m showing PowerPoint slides, but everything is a question and I use clickers and random calling. Somebody droning on for 15 minutes at a time and then doing cookbook labs isn’t interesting.” Freeman estimates that scaling up such active learning approaches could enable success for tens of thousands of students who might otherwise drop or fail STEM courses.
