Hacker Alters Students' Result Record

California -- A hacker allegedly broke into students' result records at Santa Clara University altering their grades for the better. The 'break-in' was first noticed by a student who found her result different from what she remembered and informed the university officials accordingly.

Grade security has now been tightened "with a third party consulate to improve security measures,” says Dennis Jacobs, the Santa Clara University Provost. Grades of more than 5000 students are being checked every night, with alterations verified manually.

The hacking occurred between June 2010 and July 2011. No arrests, however, have been made so far.
