plouvreon Youth expelled from Montreal college after finding security flaw

Well the article is basically written by the student union, so they try to get people on their side I imagine.

"Ethan Cox is a 28-year-old political organizer and writer from Montreal. He cut his political teeth accrediting the Dawson Student Union against ferocious opposition from the college administration and has worked as a union organizer for the Public Service Alliance of Canada."

Who in their right mind would think it's a good idea to use a penetration tool against their college?? The title is all wrong. He got expelled for using a penetration, not finding a flaw. He was congratulated for that! I heard someone else from the team even got some kind of prize for it.

Sensationalist journalism is what it is. After a little bit of research, I discovered it's written by someone who used to be in Dawson's Student Union, so I guess he has a teeth against the administration.
