Woman hacks school computer to alter her kids' grades.

[Archae]

Sheesh!

A Pennsylvania mom faces six felony charges for allegedly hacking into her children's school computer to change their grades and read school officials' emails.

Catherine Venusto, 45, of New Tripoli, worked for the Northwestern Lehigh School District from 2008 through April 2011 and has at least two children in the district, according to the District Attorney's office.

She has been accused of changing her daughter's failing grade from an F to an M for "medical" in June 2010, and then changing her son's 98 to a 99 in February 2012, nearly a year after she quit her job as an administrative office secretary to work at another school district.

1. Hacking = they didn't change their passwords in the year since she had access to them

2. Better keep her out of the WOPR. :P

But seriously, that's a felony? Ridiculous.

3. Changing the F to an M makes some sense,

but changing a 98 to a 99? Why not go the extra mile and make it a 100?

4. Just because you can,

doesn't mean you should.

5. Obviously not a member of The Hacker Republic.

At least she should have enlisted Wasp, Plague, Trinity, or Bob the Dog. Surely they would have accomplished her goal without traces.

Shame on her. Or maybe she's just an idiot, not even qualified for the Hacker Republic. Too bad she didn't have access to Asphyxia 2.0. Probably Wasp didn't clear her for Hacker Republic membership.
