Hodgkins Middle School Laptop Seized Over Password Security Issue

All laptop computers at Hodgkins Middle School have been seized after students' passwords were circulated, officials said. Students using the passwords could obtain access to other students' work but they did not gain access to anything that would have allowed them to alter grades or otherwise hack into the school's network, said Principal Jeff Boston.

"We decided to lock them up until tech support can fix the issue. I don't believe anyone hacked anything," Boston said.
