[quote]A university in Dresden mistakenly sent an email to all of its 37,000 students and entire staff on Sunday telling them they had been unenrolled from the institution. Its Wikipedia page was swiftly altered to state it had no students. [/quote]

Glad to see its keeping itself up to date. I wonder if it'll be easy to find one of the 48,000 sorry emails.

for anyone who doesn't know; in some badly protected registration things, this causes the specified files on the server to be deleted i.e. all student data.

This reminds me how I figured out to send e-mails to the entire staff/student body.

I got in a lot of trouble that day.

My email just said "Hey everyone! :)"
