A student at a Montreal university has been expelled and had his grades zeroed after he discovered and reported a flaw in the software that is responsible for holding students’ personal information. Ahmed Al-Khabaz, who was studying computer science at the Dawson College, discovered that the student software managing their college accounts had a significant flaw that could allow any user to retrieve students’ personal information, according to the National Post.
