A "prankster" stole the pictures and names of all the senior girls at a large grammar school in Linz and used them to create a popularity ranking on the Internet. The homepage was online for just under two hours - but the "fun" will now have unpleasant consequences ...

"Our daughter no longer wants to go to school. She's ashamed, feels bullied" - a father in Linz is desperate because his teenage daughter is not one of the most popular and prettiest pupils at the Europagymnasium Auhof.

Of course, there is no official ranking of the most popular girls, but on February 25th, the last day of the semester break, such a ranking went online shortly after 9 p.m. with the data of 223 girls from the upper school on their own homepage.
