Two students investigated for identity theft at high school

Karen Jordan, of local ABC affiliate ABC7 in Chicago, reports that:

Criminal charges might be filed against two students for stealing personal information at a west suburban high school. The students at Hinsdale Central are accused of hacking into the school's computer system and obtaining Social Security numbers for students and staff.

Hinsdale school officials say the accused students have had the Social Security numbers of their fellow students and teachers for months, but there is no indication that they have done anything with that information. Still, the school may take disciplinary action against the students, and criminal charges could be filed.
