Christian social networkers' accounts hacked
Remember how some schools have told students to give them their social networking passwords? Here's why that sort of thing is a bad idea: one college got hacked, the list stolen, and the students' accounts ravished with obscene uploads and status updates.

the way i heard this story (as told by a 4channer) it was christian dating site singles.com that got "hacked". they were storing email+password combos in a file called passwords.txt, and some people happened to be using the same email+password combo for a bunch of things.

It sounds, in this case, like a school's list of internal passwords was obtained, and hackers exploited the fact that most people use similar or identical passwords across multiple accounts.
