Subject: The risks of upgrading

As a result of an upgrade to Vista in Ohio's Marietta High School computer
systems, previously protected student information and photos were able to be
accessed by unauthorized people. "It appears the students were interested
in making changes to their photos in the school cafeteria system." The
photos and a student ID are used to verify charges for lunches, and
officials suspected some students were manipulating the system to avoid
paying for lunches. [Source: Marietta Times <http://www.mariettatimes.com>,
