Only advise I could offer, is that prof needs to be terminated.
What do the school administrators have to say about it?
I know if I was enrolled there, and a teacher was helping students to hack
the system potentially exposing my personnal information, I would make a big
stink.
If any personal info is compromised you can bet the school is setting itself
up
for one hell of a law suit!
