Student Hacks Into Valencia High System

Posted on March 25, 2010 by Dissent

Ah, it’s Spring, and young students’ thoughts turn to hacking….

Jeremiah McDaniel reports on yet another case, this one in California:

A Valencia High School student faces criminal charges for hacking into the school’s network.

The student hacked into the system and made changes to information according Paul Preisz, the school’s Principal.

“The student had access to everything,” said Priesz. “He [the student] said that he changed things but then he changed them back.”

The incident occurred on March 9 and, according to Priesz, he was able to gain access to the entire district’s system but only went into the Valencia portion.
