using your mugsi, to obtain you SIN number or if they are creative perhaps blackmailing someone with a bad grade report and extorting some cash.

Interesting...

I can see usage for it. If you have enough accounts, you can drop someone out of their class so you can squeeze in a full core. Maybe?

obvious scammer is obvious

Like someone else said, it's not so much the email password as it is the MacID password. A quick look around mugsi and ones SIN and addresses and other personal information can easily be found. More information than I though was even there. That info is more than enough for idenity theft. There is also an interact tuition payment option that I'm sure some one could reroute payments through if they wanted.
