#2So, you took publicly available info and dumped it out to as SQL select statements. What's the point exactly? There are a couple of admin users/passes scattered in, but it would appear just gives access to said user updating said public content like vacancies, course descriptions, etc.

#3Yawn, more script kiddie antics against arbitrary targets masquerading as political activism. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how this "raises awareness" about anything except TeamGhostShell's ability to do mass SQL injection.

#4Looks like they went for the low hanging fruit. At my university, I only see wordpress and other massively popular PHP tools. Script kiddies are at it again.

Time will tell how the world will change now that this sensitive information is out in the open.
