There's a strong argument right here for teaching technology ethics as part of a typical CS curriculum. I'm not saying that would have stopped this student from making his own unethical choices, but it does highlight the fact that we equip people with these really powerful technical skills, but we don't even try to equip them with the ethics to be responsible about it. We just sort of hope they were raised right, I guess.

Anyone here have experience with a curriculum that includes the ethics aspect?

In high school (over 2 decades ago), I figured out how to crack the school security software (and obtain its master password, thank you Windows swap file!) and after doing so, I installed a keylogger on the school library computers. I got access to dozens of email accounts, instant messaging accounts, etc. I'm self-taught all the way. In fact I dropped out of high school junior year with a 1.76 GPA. I knew what was right and wrong, but not yet mature enough to fully grasp the harm it does. I don't think any sort of ethics teachings would've changed anything.
