Security
In 2006, a Canadian student discovered a flaw in LanSchool, in which instructions by the LanSchool teacher program were sent in plain text, as well as using UDP packets. The student wrote a program to exploit this flaw.[4] In 2008 LanSchool sent a legal threat to the student.[5] The security flaw has since been patched by LanSchool.
