Kutztown Students get Felony Charges

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the pesky-kids dept.

    The kids are protesting and even selling T-shirts.

    A *felony* for something that, for any non-police-state-oriented mind, should result in reduced computer privileges? Outrageous.

    I'm really not surprised that you didn't RTFA, but if you had, you'd see that:

    "In addition, they're accused of using hacking tools to find the new admin password when it was changed from the password that was taped on the back of the machines."
