Sex probably isn't even FOSS
I wonder why people want 'privacy' when having sex, and how it's always 'censored' on TV
Absolutely Proprietary!
Probably filled with keyloggers too
don't even start on the possibility of getting viruses

True story

This more or less happened to my friend circa ~2000s. They were technically amazing for our age. When the school "database" was deleted they and a friend were suspended for an entire month, almost expelled.
Turns out they had warned their teacher that the files were in a public shared folder and anyone could just literally delete them. No backups, these were grades, assignments, etc for dozens of teachers over many years. They were severely punished for trying to disclose a vulnerability essentially and blamed for the whole thing.
Never report vulnerabilities yourself to an organization, always use a neutral, trusted third party to report it.
which organization would you use in this situation?
If you were in highschool at the time, really the only ethical thing to do for someone in your position is to delete all the files and shine a light on their bad security practices, but don't say anything about it to anyone. It's that last bit that always gets you in trouble. Absolute candor is something adults almost never want to hear from children.
Couldn't you just rename it to something obvious so as to make people think it was gone whilst leaving all the valuable data intact. mv valuableData.whatever valuableData.thiswholethingisvulnerablefixit
No then they just start using it with that new name and act like nothing happened.

A pair of scissors, various magazines, and the postal service.
I suppose having a lawyer notify the school would be ideal. Most likely too expensive, though. So, yeah, ransom letter it is.
Anonymity here is the key.
None. Just cheat. It will prepare you for the real world better than pretending to respect the authority of morons.

Linux is a gateway drug. Habitual use can lead to harder OSes, which are also Linux.
Linux is just a gateway drug to TempleOS
And eventually, after that, Nyarch

Oh please Christ tell me that kids these days aren't that dumb when it comes to computers.
I'm sorry to inform you that when I was in high school I had classmates ask me if I was hacking when opening up the command line. We don't have snitches though and the people here have the ability to listen to explanations.
Computer literacy is definitely down in gen z and alpha.
IMO around 2006 is when you see the decline. It's the delineation between kids who started with computers, and kids that started with phones or tablets.

Kids? I regularly interact with PhD students that don't know how to open a fucking ZIP archive. I've had one that thought that "SSD" was a kind of RAM, and insisted on installing Windows on a hard drive. I've had one that couldn't grasp the idea of 2FA. I've had one that only had a single copy of his dissertation and lost all of it when Bitlocker ate the disk.
Organic intelligence is going extinct, I swear.

I had a computer class that was fairly self guided, do projects and tell the facilitator how it's good for community or whatever. All I would do when she walked by is go to hackertyper and tell her I was coding.
So yes.

This happened to a friend of mine in the 90s. He was checking his email with pine. The lady who ran the school computer lab called the terminal "the black program with the blinking thing."

Similar though far less extreme thing happened to me in highschool ~99
Some kid decided to rename the other kids home directory folders because they were their student IDs, not an easily identifiable name.
Sure enough, when said students went to log back in, their data was gone.
They took away MY access because they wanted me to come to the staff room to get it restored so that I can fix it for them.
Why we had access to all students home directories and data is beyond me FFS. But yeah.
I did plenty of shit I shouldn't have done, for sure, but that wasn't me, and it was the one time I got my access revoked.
Anyway, it was a good lesson to install a keylogger on a few machines which logged to the local c: and then I got some other accounts for free internet and print credit so there was no more logging me out after that.
I doubt the parents called the police on OP for hacking. Parents just get angry or ground their kids for "hacking".
There’s a program at my job that has a black background and a lot of the commands are written in lines similar to cmd.
It’s a lot more streamlined now but I use to have to do a lot in there and people would often gather behind me to see what I was doing. I guess it looked like I was hacking because I would type for about a bit and hit enter then start typing again. Literal csi hacking type shit
I mean yeah, half of CSI hacking is

Can't decide. Is this green text fake and gay or real because it sounds like it could happen to me?
While I doubt it went as far as the parents calling the police, way back when I was in high school, my friend got banned from the computers for "hacking" because he used the command prompt to control the computer instead of just the GUI.
