Court Extends Order Barring Students From Exposing Holes in Blackboard's Debit-Card System ANDREA L. FOSTER , the Chronicle
Blackboard Inc. and two college students who unearthed security weaknesses in the company's electronic debit-card system agreed on Wednesday to extend until next month a judge's restraining order that prevents the students from disseminating their findings. Judge Anne Workman, of Superior Court in Decatur, Ga., issued the temporary restraining order on Saturday at Blackboard's request. The students -- Billy Hoffman, of the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Virgil Griffith, of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa -- were set to discuss security holes in the Blackboard Transaction System at a conference last weekend. But Blackboard officials said their talk could facilitate massive fraud and security breaches at colleges throughout the country.
