Student Faces 38 Years In Prison For Hacking Grades

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the wrath-of-kahn dept.

the brown guy writes "An 18-year-old high school student named Omar Kahn is charged with 69 felonies for hacking into a school computer and modifying his grades, among other things. He changed his C, D and F grades to As, and changed 12 other students grades as well. By installing a remote access program on the school's server, Kahn was able to also change his AP scores and distribute test answer keys, and could be looking at a lengthy prison term. Not surprisingly, his parents (who have only recently immigrated to America) have decided not to post the $50,000 bail and Kahn is in jail awaiting trial."

    34 felony counts of awesomeness

    7 felony counts of pwning n00bs.

    Jail time is not the solution for everything.

    Of course it isn't. Unfortunately, we've outlawed all the fun stuff as "cruel and unusual punishment".
