High schooler faces 38 years in prison for changing his grades
Schoolboy hacker Omar Khan who upped his grades faces 38 years in jail - Times Online
I seriously doubt he would serve anywhere near the maximum, but still, this ranks among one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read in my entire life.

They came close to hiring a noted PERL hacker back in the days, but they are wary to associate with too many on more than a consultancy basis. Originally Posted by The Monkey Man Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu

We were just fooling around when we discovered it. We didn't do stupid shit like change grades, but we did add a few classes to the curriculum as a joke.
What he did is called social engineering, not hacking.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”
