Mark Selfe:

Omar Khan and Tanvir Singh, both 18-years old, face more than just a trip down to the Principal's office as they are both charged for breaking into and then hacking Tesoro High School computers in Orange County California.

According to prosecutors, the two individuals used stolen passwords and usernames to hack into school computers to change their grades from D's and C's to A's and B+'s. Khan was also accused of stealing tests before they had been given and for loading spyware which would enable him access servers remotley to change the grades of 12 other students.
