Young Hacker Police arrest 14-yr-old student for changing background of teacher's computer to kissing gays after stealing password

Police in Florida have arrested a teenage student who stole an administrative-level password to access his school's secure computer network and change a teacher's desktop background to an image of two men kissing.

A 14-year-old Florida student has been arrested and charged with felony hacking charges after he changed the background of a teacher's computer to photo of two men kissing using a stolen password.
Domanik Green, a student of Paul R. Smith Middle School in Holiday, committed the crime on Tuesday March 31 and was subsequently charged with felony offense against a computer system and unauthorized access.
According to Pasco County Sheriff,Chris Nocco, the teenager stole an administrative-level password to access his school's secure computer network.
Nocco told theTampa Bay Timesthat the student's action may be seen as a prank but it has more consequences.
"Even though some might say this is just a teenage prank, who knows what this teenager might have done," Nocco said.
Green said he learned the password, which is the teacher's last name, by watching a teacher type it in two years ago.
He toldWTSP-TVthat he would not have played the prank if anyone had told him it was illegal.
"If they would have notified me it was illegal, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. But all they said was, 'You shouldn't be doing that,'" he said.
His mother,Eileen Foster, said the charge levelled against her son was undeserving, noting that her son could have done more damage than just play a prank.
"He had the chance to get into the FCAT files, he had the chance to change grades, to do whatever you can do in the FCAT files and he didn't take it," she said.
"I think that alone proves he doesn't deserve a felony charge."
Green confessed that he played the prank on a teacher he doesn’t like.
He has been suspended for 10 days.

Niger Delta University ‘Lesbian’ cultists drug, brutalize 'born-again' 17-yr-old for refusing initiation

Suspected female cultists at the Niger Delta University brutalized a teenage student, allegedly because she refused to join their lesbian cult. They have been caught.

A 17-year-old student of the Niger Delta University (NDU) is recuperating after suspected female student-cultists attacked her for allegedly refusing to join their cult.

According to a Leadership report, the unnamed victim, a student of the institution's Economics Department, was attacked in her room at Hostel “F” of the institution around 4am last Tuesday.

She is rumoured to have become a target due to her strict Christian ways and refusal to accept their invitation to join the cult, alleged to be notorious for lesbianism and other vices.

A final year student of the Education Department, identified as Annabela, was said to have led the attack.

They allegedly injected their victim with an unidentified substance and subjected her to severe torture.
A source who identified herself asClairespoke toLeadershipabout the attack.

“She was tied to a chair and severely beaten by four girls. Her hair attachment was forceful removed and she was injected with substances that made her behave in a crazy manner for days," she said.

"When the attackers saw that the girl had fainted, they brought her out of the room in the early hours of morning, and they were apprehended.”

NDU'sStudents’ Senate Disciplinary Committeehas begun investigation into the incident and is expected to present its finding to the institution’s authorities.

ASUU has urged the Governing Council of the Lagos State University to reopen the institution and end the 'illegal' "election recess" imposed by embattled VC Obafunwa before the general elections.

Nearly one month after theLagos State University(LASU) was shut down for what the institution called "election recess", the local chapter of the chapter ofAcademic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) has called for the resumption of activities.

The union appealed to the institution’s Governing Council to direct the reopening.
Embattled Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof.John Obafunwa, had called for the “election recess” in a statement, asking students to vacate the university with immediate effect until a contrary announcement is made.
The elections have been concluded for over a week and no official resumption date has been announced.

In a related development, ASUU-LASU chairman, Dr.Adekunle Idris, has insisted that the vote of no confidence passed by the congress against the Vice Chancellor remains effective.
Idris, who went into hiding early April after alleging that the institution’s management plans to attack him with student cultists, advised parents to monitor their children and ensure that they are not used to ferment trouble.
Idris noted that the "election recess" aborted academic activities without Senate approval and is thus illegal in a university system, especially as all other universities in the country remained in session.
