Student Faces 38 Years In Prison For Hacking Grades
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."
At least they got him before he starts World War III.
OK, it's a terrible joke, but someone had to do it.
Really? 38 years? This kind of thing really ought to be a fine. And, even more, the school ought to be ashamed that they didn't secure their system correctly.
Even for breaking & entering / burglary... 38 years is insane... though not unexpected in our runaway legal system.
