Student Hacks School Computers To Lower His Grades
As part of his graduating project, student Reid Ellison of Anzar High School in San Juan Batista got permission from school administrators to hack into the faculty computer system.
When he got in, which took “200 milliseconds,” Ellison left proof that he was there – he lowered his grade average. He had to the opposite of what most other students would have because he already has a 4.0 GPA.
Ellison says writing the project’s accompanying essay, “The History of Hacking,” was harder than the task itself. After school officials saw what he had done, Ellison made sure they put his GPA back to 4.0.
