TG Daily - High school student faces 38 years in prison for hacking grades
Topic: Security 11:50 pm EDT, Jun 21, 2008

Here is the list of charges against Khan

34 felony counts of altering public record
11 felony counts of stealing and secreting public records
7 felony counts of illegal computer access and fraud
6 felony counts of burglary
4 felony counts of identity theft
3 felony counts of altering book of records
2 felony counts of receiving stolen property
1 felony count of conspiracy
1 felony count of attempting altering of a public record

Khan was caught after he requested an official school transcript for a university he was applying for.

Note that he wasn't caught by any software, intrusion detection or prevention, any technical controls whatsoever.

I thought that School systems were supposed to have better system control by now...
