Russia Today America reports:
A 14-year-old middle school student is facing felony computer hacking charges after he admitted to accessing a teacher's computer during class without permission. If that wasn't bad enough, he then displayed an image of two men kissing.
Domanik Green, an eighth grader at Paul R. Smith Middle School in Holiday, Florida, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with an offense against a computer system and unauthorized access: a third-degree felony under Florida state law.
[...] The school had distributed a single password for all teachers to use, approximately two years ago. One educator had shared it with a student, who soon let his classmates in on the secret.
The Tampa Bay Times notes:
Green, interviewed at home, said students would often log into the administrative account to screen-share with their friends. They'd use the school computers' cameras to see each other, he said.
Green had previously received a three-day suspension for accessing the system inappropriately. Other students also got in trouble at the time, he said. It was a well-known trick, Green said, because the password was easy to remember: a teacher's last name. He said he discovered it by watching the teacher type it in.

And the dog, kill the family dog, as a show of force so those peasants will know who's in charge.
