I suspect the anonymous educational institution in question is hardly
the only vulnerable site out there.  Universities tend to be fairly
decentralized places, where academic freedom can count for a lot more
than a secure network.  Plus a university network has fewer secrets to
protect than a business.

One would hope that the registrar's office would be an exception to
the rule, but apparently not.

Regards,
Brian
