    An entire institution banned thanks to these guys.

    Sounds kinda excessive and at the same time adequate.

      I imagine they don’t want the possibility of the researcher just getting a new academic email and continuing to do it. Also, it forces the university to react since the researcher clearly isn’t willing to stop judging by their responses.

        I’ve been reading the messages and it’s totally embarrassing, i can’t believe someone is messing with a kernel installed on thousands of millions of devices just to create an academic paper.

        TWICE, they were trying to do it AGAIN.
