The researchers had a responsibility as well as the administrators of the host that was exploited. This is not ok and the university obviously did not report in a timely manner (Aug 1, Aug 30 then late Sept for announcement). Why is that? Damage control I suppose.
Using academia as a reason to say this is 'ok' or they did not have the resources, manpower, poor college students, etc. is bunk.
Hold the university responsible for the incident.
