Omar Khan and Tanvir Singh, both 18-years old, face more than just a trip down to the Principal's office as they are both charged for breaking into and then hacking Tesoro High School computers in Orange County California.
According to prosecutors, the two individuals used stolen passwords and usernames to hack into school computers to change their grades from D's and C's to A's and B+'s. Khan was also accused of stealing tests before they had been given and for loading spyware which would enable him access servers remotley to change the grades of 12 other students.
The police were tipped off when the teachers raised eyebrows when they noticed the students unusually high grades. Khan, if convicted, faces a possible 38 years in prison. Still, maybe instead of putting them both away for a long time, they could use thier talents working for the FBI. or something useful like busting internet fraud.
