In the past week, a flurry of controversy has surrounded the reported “hacking” of the Blackboard transaction system. On April 12, 2003 Blackboard initiated legal action to stop two students from presenting at a hacker’s conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Their presentation, “Campuswide System Vulnerabilities Update,” was promoted as an overview of a means to compromise Blackboard’s transaction system. A Dekalb County, Georgia Judge granted a temporary restraining order prohibiting the men from discussing items relating to the topic–thereby canceling their presentation.
