HACKER AND SCHOOL MAKE DEAL
The 17-year-old Turlock High School student who hacked into the school district's computer system to show his teacher how vulnerable it was -- and then got suspended and arrested -- is being reinstated back into school. The conditions? He's not suppose to touch a school owned computer, talk to the press, and he has to write a letter of apology to the school district. (See my earlier story) I still think they should give the kid extra credit for showing the school how irresponsibly vulnerable their system is -- and maybe a scholarship to CalTech. I suspect that at least Robert Lee's fellow students will give him a standing ovation at graduation in June. Link to Modesto Bee story.
