Students Hack School System to Change Grades and Attendance

Orchard View Schools in Michigan say they became aware of a data breach in their PowerSchool student information system last week. The school launched an investigation and discovered unauthorized changes to student’s grades and attendance records were made. This is not the first time students have successfully been able to hack their school systems to change grades and send out college applications. BleepingComputer has contacted the school district for more information on how the students gained access to the system and if they only changed their own grades or if they were doing so for others.
