FL: High school students allegedly provided hacking as a paid service to change peers’ grades: Police

Posted on January 11, 2019 by Dissent

Hank Tester reports:

“They are like 18,” said student Valaria Delgado. “They could go to jail. That’s like hacking.”

“Like hacking?” No, it *is* hacking. They seem to have gotten hold of a teacher’s passcode.
