High School Sophomore Arrested For Hacking Computer System, Changing Grades Of Other Students

A Northern California teen was arrested Wednesday for hacking a school district's computer system and changing the grades of up to 15 students. Authorities said they arrested David Rotaro, a sophomore at Ygnacio Valley High School in Concord, California, for infiltrating the school district's computer system. Rotaro, 16, said it was like "stealing candy from a baby," according to KGO-TV, an ABC affiliate in San Francisco. It took him five minutes to design a "phishing email," that he sent out to swipe login information from school faculty. Authorities didn't release Rotaro's name, however, he confessed to having committed the crime during an interview with KGO-TV.
