Students Hack Professor’s Account To Change Grades

Two California State University at Northridge students have been charged with hacking into a professor’s campus network account to change their grades and those of nearly 300 of their classmates. They are also accused of using the professor’s credit card to send pizza and magazine subscriptions to the professor’s home. Lena Chen and Jennifer Ngan, who confessed to campus police and were subject to the university’s disciplinary procedures, now face arraignment on several misdemeanor charges. The two are no longer with the university.
