Four Month Sentence for Utah College Hacker

An AP newswire article, via The Boston Globe, reports that:

A University of Utah student who admitted hacking into a university computer system to change his grades was sentenced to four months in jail or a halfway house.

You Li, 22, admitted Thursday that he changed his grades in December 2004. His official record, however, remained the same because he had accessed a backup file.
