Two California State University, Fresno, students are facing 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines after allegedly hacking into the school's PeopleSoft system and changing their grades.
The recently unsealed indictment in this case provides the classic outline of an insider job. A help desk employee leverages his position to obtain administrative privileges from a supervisor's account. Using these rights they got usernames and passwords of the school's registrar and other officials and then changed their grades.
