Police: Hackers changed grades in school computer
St. George police Sgt. James Van Fleet says the hackers were charging from $5 to $25 for their service at Snow Canyon High School.
Tanner M. Rea, 18, and a 17-year-old juvenile were arrested Tuesday.
Both told police they got hold of a list with every teacher's computer passwords.
Operating for weeks, police say, the students wrote over grades in a computer database, improving scores for at least seven others.
Rea was booked into Purgatory Correctional Facility for investigation of theft and altering a computer record.
The 17-year-old boy was booked into a juvenile detention center for investigation of similar charges.
