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."

    But hey, who reads articles? This is slashdot.

    God, what an officious wanker you are. Going to the trouble of correcting a throwaway joke, and then weasling in a karma-whoring slashdot slam that inexplicably seems to be popular with the more low-forehead-heavy-eyebrow type moderators here. When you take a shit, do have to use to pry tools to open that tightly-closed steel-trap sphincter of yours?

    Jeez, lighten up, Francis. It was just a joke.
