Seems to me like he installed some keyloggers and card readers and simply 
skimmed off log in information.  Then he actually admitted doing this to the 
university - very clever...

He should have sent the 16-page report to the university without actually 
performing the illegal acts or sending the document to 37 of his mates.  If 
they had refused to improve security, then he could have gone to the local 
student papers etc and kicked up a fuss.
