Yo, Dan! I have an 11 y.o. who is not quite there yet, but you know, I would charge your daughter for the time it takes to fix this at your rates, so a couple hundred dollars, which you take out of her allowance, or have her do chores to earn it if you don't do allowances.
I am a big one on consequences. I would also inform her if she does this sort of thing at a job, she will be thru at that company and maybe in her whole industry, if word gets out. Hacking is only cool if you don't get caught by the IP admin.
