The enterprising folks at http://www.ultrinsic.com/ are soliciting students who want to bet on their grades! What an opportunity!
A story on the topic is published at:

To participate, students need to upload their school records. And if they want the site to track their records for them, all a student needs to do is provide the company with their student login information--userID and password. How cool!
But wait. College and university student systems usually store some student and and family financial information. What all could the student be giving away? Their banking information? Their family's banking information? Their financial future?
Yeesh!
