FL: High school student confesses to hacking school’s database to change grades

Posted on May 3, 2014 by Dissent

Here’s another case of a student hacking into the school’s database to change grades. This time it’s the  Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School in Miami that got hacked by a student to allegedly change his grades and those of four other students.

ABC News has the story, which was first reported by CBS Miami.

Not reported in either news story was how the student managed to access the database. Did he shoulder surf a staff member logging in, did he hack, or….? And what other information did he have access to, even if he didn’t particularly want to look at it or copy it?
