Now this is real cracking, imagine the future now with all things inserted to a computer, i don't think the next generation of students will study too much since they can "insert" the marks or notes they want.

This news remind me of the movie "war games", don't it remind you too!?!?

Anyway, see the article and say what you feel about this, especially if you have kids and also if you still study.

ps: don't go ask those 2 students to explain you how they did it!!!

Thats terrible, but they will pay consequences, also when they get a job.... oops, unless they work with computers.... then they will be excellent it peeps

This is the maor drawback of making everything computerised.

with the availability of lot of tutorials and help online about hacking the younger generation are tempted to try them for their benefit or to showcase their talents without knowing what they are doing could be a serious crime.

This is just one of the incidents among the other unexposed millions of such incidents.

now the parents and the society should take a decision about this evolving factor and something must be done to prevent this.

I hope it would be better if the children are thought What is Digital Crime and what are their punishments when they are taught about internet, this this might be prevented in the future.

only have time to skim, but interesting....
though really, I myself realize it isn't hard to hack school systems and other networks of the sort...If I wanted to, I could change my high school grades... people just need to realize that doing that sort of thing is morally wrong. e.g. misrepresentation

This has happened thousands times in the past and will continue to happen, the human life is very limited and if you have to miss one year of it because your grades arent very good I would think people with the knowledge how to do things like this would do it.
We shouldn't be justifying these people, usually there are multiple sides to a story...

Yes Florisjuh, perhaps the story isn't entirely true, but then, it is likely to be true, at least most of it.

Hmm...I never thought about it like this when I was reading it, maybe they missed lots of school due to being ill? Maybe they didn't do aswell on their tests, but they know they can do well?

Ah well, it's still a funny story

Wow that is very shocking. I don't think that we should depend on computers with everything.
I mean if everything goes threw computer if someone could hack it they could hack are lives. Which has sort of happened before.

this may sound bad but i think its quite funny pmpl a much better use of hacking skills. I say this cos in the past i have had very popular sites hacked, deleted, and scripts distributed by jealous and destructive hackers.
If they work with computers and are good at it anyway it will help them get a better position i guess lol

I think it is rather funny how they always seem to do this no matter how advanced and more secure the more kids want to be able to hack it. They will spend all this time thinking of ways to avoid getting bad grades when in that same amount of time they could have been studying and recieve good grades the right way. I mean it really doesn't pay at all especially when you are caught or you have to get a job requiring better knowledge. I mean you think your own teacher won't notice though that you went from an F to a B? They would have to notice and if they don't shame on them.
