Subject: Who Do I Contact?

I'm sorry I don't plan on going public with the details of the hole except with school staff and/or law enforcement. Main reason being dont want to put my info and my parents info in any great danger than it already is in. As you know identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes so I feel that releasing the news before the holes is fixed will do more damage than good.
