8th Grader Slapped With A Felony For Changing Teacher's Desktop Wallpaper

I hope they throw the book at this kid. We need to send a strong message to other cybercriminals that changing desktop wallpaper is no "prank" and will not be tolerated in this country!

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office has charged Domanik Green, an eighth-grader at Paul R. Smith Middle School, with an offense against a computer system and unauthorized access, a felony. Sheriff Chris Nocco said Thursday that Green logged onto the school's network on March 31 using an administrative-level password without permission. He then changed the background image on a teacher's computer to one showing two men kissing.
