Student Faces 38 Years In Prison For Hacking Grades 645
the brown guy writes "An 18-year-old high school student named Omar Kahn is charged with 69 felonies for hacking into a school computer and modifying his grades, among other things. He changed his C, D and F grades to As, and changed 12 other students grades as well. By installing a remote access program on the school's server, Kahn was able to also change his AP scores and distribute test answer keys, and could be looking at a lengthy prison term. Not surprisingly, his parents (who have only recently immigrated to America) have decided not to post the $50,000 bail and Kahn is in jail awaiting trial."

Of course, if he really was a "1337 h4x0r" he'd have only bumped up a few of his grades, not given himself straight "A"s.
Additionally, the trial would have gone something like this: "The charges are ... uhmmm, sorry, but we can't seem to find anything about this guy in our system, hour honor. [mumble] I *know* I saw it yesterday ...[/mumble]"

I bet if he had instead changed some everyone's grades to "D-E-A-D-B-E-E-F" the judge would have just lold and put a "1337 Pwnage" into his permanent record instead.

No, those are the charges against Kahn. The charges against Khan are a lot worse.
