As a graduation prank, four high school students hijacked 500 screens across six school buildings to troll their classmates and teachers.
Like the IPTV system, the group tried to access EPIC using default usernames and passwords. “It's not really like a sophisticated attack,” Duong says. “The whole thing is script kiddies using default passwords and doing random stuff there.” But the defaults didn’t work.
Rick was always intended as a high school prank—Duong says other pranks last year included students toilet-papering some trees—the hacking was very likely to be outside the law. The students accessed networks they weren’t supposed to—a lawyer might call it “unauthorized access” under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. And a malicious hacker could have stolen data, moved through the systems, or used the access to try to cause harm.
“The thing that really prevented us from being in trouble is the report that we sent,” Duong says. Ahead of the rickroll, the team wrote up a 26-page report, which was sent to the admins straight after the incident, that detailed what they had done and provided security suggestions.
