Two students charged with hacking the system to inflate grades at Miami University in Ohio. Police maintain that Beckley Parker, 21, of Weston, Conn., had changed his own grades for 17 classes since the spring of 2011. The students avoided being charged with a felony, instead accepting dismissal from the university and pleading guilty to multiple counts of “attempted unauthorized use of property” The grade book hack “challenges the integrity of those grades and diplomas,” the university’s information security officer says.”]
