Abstract

The article reports on the case of a student at Canada's Carleton University for hacking the school's computer network. The police charged the student with mischief of data and unauthorized use of a computer for allegedly hacking into Carleton's computer network to prove that it should be stronger. The student allegedly sent campus officials a 16-page letter revealing the network-account names and passwords of 32 students. The alleged student could get up to 20 years in prison for his action.
