http://www.kirotv.com/education/27708043/detail.html By kirotv.com Webstaff April 28, 2011 SEATTLE -- Someone has stolen teacher passwords and changed grades in a Seattle Public Schools computer system, the district said in an email to teachers obtained Thursday by KIRO 7 Eyewitness News. The district's IT staff found the theft of network login passwords "appears to have been going on for the last few weeks, possibly longer," the email said, adding that "we are aware of this happening at these schools: Ballard, Ingraham, and Sealth. However, all schools and teachers are at risk." The KIRO 7 Eyewitness News Assignment Desk got a tip about the email and checked with the district, which provided the memo from the Department of Technology Services. The e-mail said the hackers plugged key logger devices into computer USB ports that capture everything entered by the keyboard.
