Teens facing prison time for hacking school computers

Oh, silly teenagers, if the movie War Games taught us nothing else, it’s that nothing good comes out of hacking.

County prosecutors allege Omar Khan, 18, of Coto de Caza, and Tanvir Singh, 18, of Ladera Ranch, broke into Tesoro High School in Las Flores to steal tests and change their own and others’ grades on the school computer network.

While Singh allegedly only tried doing it once, Khan apparently did it several times.

Khan’s been charged with 69 felony counts and could get more than 38 years in prison. Singh faces four counts and could wind up with three years.

    Potential Penalties as set out by the California Penal Code

    193. (a) Voluntary manslaughter is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for three, six, or eleven years.

    (b) Involuntary manslaughter is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years.

    Second-degree murder usually is punished with more than 20 years in prison. A person convicted of second-degree murder in Minnesota, for example, may be sentenced to prison for not more than 40 years.

    Goes to show you how much computer laws are messed up in this country.
