Apparently reporters at NBC San Diego have discovered that kid can get hacker tools from the internet. This is another case of kids hacking in to change grades. Sure, this is bad behaviour but, you do have to admire their creativity. I wish I thought of that when I was a kid. Mind you, my parchment and quill didn’t have an internet connection.
From NBC San Diego:
The hacking incident resulted in the changing of grades and acquiring teachers’ tests, according to the release.
The computer breach was discovered when a staff member in a computer at school found a flash drive. An initial investigation revealed that the hacking occurred as a desktop security breach.
Students apparently hacked into the computer using stolen passwords and downloaded hacking tools found on the Internet.
The students will appear before district administrative hearing panels
