And who is shocked that criminals would try to scam the JPay system? Apparently, the folk who wrote it.  
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

I can understand their shock.
While it is well known that other people's software have bug. Mine is always bullet proof!

well I think it's good that these people are learning real world skills they can draw on when they are released, I mean isn't that supposed to be part of the program?

That's not a hack; thats simply abusing and exploiting a broken system.

I didn't write the article - and that's "close enough for journalism majors" unfortunately.

As a journalism major I feel offended! 
(Yes, I'm really a journalism major!)

Seriously? I'm impressed that you have thrown off the conditioning and learned technical stuff!
It does annoy when the "science reporter" clearly knows sod-all about the subject and just spouts buzzwords he hopes are relevant - and that's what they mostly seem to do all the time.

Yes, really.
It's kind of a coincidence, I didn't really plan it.
I didn't know what the heck I was going to do after high school and decided to do a "common art and cultural sciences" study.
Three years later it turned out that I could do a journalism major so I though why the heck not.
What happened next will SHOCK you!
I failed the major due to a lack of studying and an abundance of World of Warcraft.
This guy TURNED HIS LIFE AROUND in a FEW SIMPLE STEPS!
I was able to get a job at my uncle's IT company (which he just bought from my parents).
That year I learned VB.NET, WinForms, SQL Server... And finished my major.
See how this guy EARNS a GOOD SALARY!
I'm now a kick-ass programmer with a wide array of technical skills who writes articles, blogs and books

I wrote some articles here on CP, but the article I learned from the most is the article that didn't even made it through the moderation queue.
It was very bad and one high rep mofo here on CP (I forgot his name and he isn't active anymore) called me an idiot (and many more things) for it and thought I needed to quit programming ASAP
Some good people here on CP told me to read up on SOLID and design patterns, which I did, thoroughly.
That was a career changer for me!

I have to agree with you and Eddy here - you learn more from mistakes and failures than you do from successes. I think you have to have the failures in order to understand the successes.
This has nothing to do with why my early career is littered with exploded IC's (some of which have bounced off the ceiling), smoked capacitors, small fires, and people left beside a road for five hours because their name contained four 'N' characters ... Honest!

Just noting that based on the authors of the original OP link doesn't seem to be a science reporter.
Not even sure these days if papers even still have science reporters.

They do have reporters that write about science, but science reporters... I don't think so.

We've seen some great articles being submitted in our Summer Fun with Arduino Challenge. If you've worked on a cool personal Arduino project or developed an expertise in IoT tech, show off your creative side in an article on CodeProject. There's $1800 in prizes for the article challenges up for grabs.
Wondering where to get started? Don't worry, we've all been there. Take a look at this comprehensive Guide To Writing Articles For Code Project developed by one of our regular article contributors, Marc Clifton. It should get you on your way.
Have a great weekend everyone!

ummm, doesn't the screen saver pretty much do that without machine learning?
Throw in a few options for IDE type environments, (or perhaps a checklist 'if these are running flark off')
wtf is there to learn? it's just another excuse to get it wrong when all they really need to do is frigging ask?
Your computer is learning...
...it's now at the stage of a 2 year old kid - that'll teach you for dissing ms and never capitalising their name!
who the flock is microsuckass trying to kid with this sheti?

Agreed!

That's it right there. That's the only thing that should matter. No exception. Ever.
