Florida teens charged with hacking
An AP newswire article, via The Globe and Mail, reports that:
Three teenagers face felony charges for allegedly hacking into their school computer system to "fix" grades — not for themselves, but for friends.
The 16-year-olds are enrolled in advanced computer classes at Bay High School, and sheriff's investigator Paul Vecker said they didn't need to change their own grades.
"These are three young men who are quite intelligent," he said.
Mr. Vecker said they mostly changed friends' grades by small increments to avoid notice. However, they allegedly made a big change for one junior, who reportedly would have failed if her grade hadn't been changed from an F to a B, investigators said.
The school contacted the Bay County sheriff's office on Thursday.
