Two Kentucky High School students and a former high school student are in trouble after they were caught hacking into their school's system.
It started in October at the Manual High School. The students did more than just change their grades. They altered their attendance and even hacked into individual teachers' computers and created their own website - www.ilovekeepers.com
The school authorities have no idea how many grades have been changed. It could have been as low as 15 students or as high as 200. The problem is made even worse by the fact that teachers don't keep hard copies of the grades. They just keep them on the computers.
Students have been asked to go home and bring back all their homework to prove what grade they should be receiving.
The two students are not in trouble because they disrespected a teacher, got caught with drugs, or fought with other students. They are in trouble because they figured out how to beat the system. The students may face expulsion from the school and may even face jail term if the school authorities decide to press charges.
The school authorities are still at a loss as to how the students managed to enter into the school's system. But they say that the security will be improved when they find out.
