No, really.

Slashdot wrote about it and Network World has coverage too.

The full email thread, wherein one Todd Shriber contacted attrition.org and asked for their "services" is posted on the Attrition website. It's currently down due to a Slashdotting, but the correspondence is worth a read when the site comes back up.

I first was surprised he asked for this from the beginning.

But was the hacker at attrition.org really trying to fix the grades, or was he faking actually being caught? And why did the hacker think that he could change the grades so easily?

No, Attrition is a long running security site. I'm pretty sure that they were faking the guy out every single step of the way.
