And the best part? Because he disclosed the vulnerabilities that made the prank possible to IT and school district staff, he wasn’t even disciplined for it!

The school handled the harmless prank well. I imagine the followup discussion was "Very clever. Thank you for pointing out our network's vulnerabilities to the entire school. Don't do it again or you'll be busted back to kindergarden".

nice that he wasn’t punished for it since he disclosed the vulnerabilities to it.

This is a prank. Its harmless, funny and everyone can enjoy it.

Now THESE are real pranks. No harm, no pain, no destruction of property caused. Just a good old laugh from a good old meme, as pranks should be.

I'm glad today's kids are enjoying the time honored millennial pass time of Rick Rolling. Good ol wholesome fun!

Whoever did this probably helped the school by pointing out a major flaw in their cyber security. Good thing it was harmless in the end.

I can just see the school district going, "Your telling us that we used 1234 as the security code."

[adamfurtaw]

That was a fun way of showing that there are holes in the schools computer security. The kid's got a future in technology.

I like it.

Now this is pranking and viral worthy! Not those vandalizing and hurting teachers videos. Nice to see there’s a kid out there that gets a good old fashioned joke without harming anyone/anything. I hope he didn’t get into too much trouble for this, and instead helps the school tighten up the security system. He’s going places with those tech skills. ☺️
