I can tell you (not a parent, in IT for education) kids, like dinosaurs, find a way. It'd amaze you how clever they are at getting on devices. Hell, we have kids hacking staff accounts so regularly we just audit all the accounts for the usual kid haunts.
I don't see it. How is your system so lax that kids are hacking them weekly?
Did I say weekly? "So lax?" Do you know anything at all about our system? How do you know that I don't work in "Prison for 17 year old hackers"? How do you know that I'm not the only IT guy for an 11,000 person education system? We have a real cybersecurity problem, yes. But this may stagger your imagination, you don't know any of the details, so of course you assume we must be fully staffed, fully funded, dealing with little kids, and just incompetent.
How is your staff enrollment so lax that it can be done by any user?
Oh simple! I didn't proofread my post before posting! Autocorrect changed "hacking" to "having".
My question stands. A simple confirmation by a human when enrolling a new account or upgrading an existing account should be enough. How many legit new staff accounts are added in a week?
Okay, we're done.
