<p>One person hacked into the system, and the rest followed. Although the other students didn't actually commit the 'crime', it was still wrong to follow the hacker's instructions. It's like having a burglar break into a store for you to follow after him.</p>
<p>I don't blame these students for their curiosity, though. I don't know if I would have done it because I'm always wary about unofficial information. However, if I hadn't known that a hacker had paved the way (say, for example, the instructions were posted on this board by someone who hadn't revealed that the info. was lifted by way of hacking), then I probably would have been overwhelmed by curiosity and checked.</p>
