Macquarie University's response to Hacking
I would like to share a true story concerning my brother, currently living in Sydney. There has been great injustice suffered by my brother, AB, while studying at Macquarie University in NSW, Australia. He is perhaps one of many students whose grades were manipulated or deleted after hackers gained access to unhashed passwords of students accounts back in 2012. AB discovered that all his assignment grades were deleted only after completing his third year of study in December of 2013. He wasted the whole of 2014 trying to get the matter properly investigated and resolved. Despite, having evidence on my brother's favour, the university has tried to bury the matter on multiple occasions by delaying the final decision until AB's visa is about to expire. The university always gave unreasonable rulings despite the evidence being on my brother's favour. AB has even written to other Australian offices seeking their help but till now he has not seen justice prevail. Frustrated, AB is forced to return home while having wasted four years of his life and accumulated a large debt just because a premier Australian institute wants to deny that its students grades were manipulated by hackers. There are a lot more details to this story but I just wanted to put this short version online while hoping to warn others and also get some advice as to how to solve this problem. Thank you
