Cheaters with blood on their hands (literally)

Becuase I forgot to post last week's Cheating in the News roundup from Caveon, here it is. Apparently, there's a computer virus that can steal test items, though I'll believe that only after Snopes verifies it. Cheating has gotten so bad, though, that even people who you really, really don't want to be faking their knowledge are starting to do so. I don't know which is worse - the knowledge that you can fake your way through an EMT exam, or the idea that some people are happy to do so.

Oh, and on a related topic, blogger CD of Ipse Dixit has discovered that a nine-year-old essay of his on Jane Eyre is for sale online! Now we can all own a little piece of CD, and if our professors aren't too sharp, we can pass it off as our own.
