IL: New Trier hacker saw teacher salaries, medical records

Posted on July 10, 2008 by Dissent

Dan Rozek reports:

Jonah Greenthal said he hacked into the computer system at New Trier High School to check his class rank, but the 18-year-old senior found much more than that.

Greenthal managed to tap into confidential school data that included teacher salaries, medical records and grade histories for students who had graduated as long as three years ago, authorities said Wednesday.

[…]

As part of his plea deal with Cook County prosecutors, Greenthal was sentenced to one year of court supervision and ordered to perform 50 hours of community service and pay $320 in court costs. Before imposing the sentence, Judge Earl B. Hoffenberg call the security breach “a pretty serious matter.”
