Hacker 'cancels' government exam via Blackboard - Lilly Rockwell, Daily Texan
Students in Peter Trubowitz's Government 360N class received an e-mail Feb. 29 that every student hopes to get the night before an exam. It said, with no explanation, the test was postponed until a later date, according to Katherine Sayre, a journalism senior and student in the class. Unfortunately for the students, Trubowitz said the e-mail was sent from a student in the class pretending to be him. The student even went so far as to create an e-mail account using Trubowitz's name, the government associate professor said. "Whoever did this spent a lot of time compiling e-mails that might have been better spent studying for the exam," Trubowitz said.
