This is a little late, bit doesn’t seem to have been noticed here; I saw it only because it found its way into the German news at SPIEGEL ONLINE yesterday. From the 9 April 2015 Tampa Bay Times:
A middle school student who said he was just trying to play a prank on a teacher he didn't like was charged with a cybercrime Wednesday after authorities said he hacked into his school's secure computer network.How secure was the network? The password was a teacher’s six-letter last name, and Green says that the trick was well-known to students, who used the system to screen-share with their friends. It’s hard to disagree with Eileen Foster, the boy’s mother, who thinks that the administration’s network should have been more secure in the first place.The Pasco County Sheriff's Office has charged Domanik Green, an eighth-grader at Paul R. Smith Middle School, with an offense against a computer system and unauthorized access, a felony. Sheriff Chris Nocco said Thursday that Green logged onto the school's network on March 31 using an administrative-level password without permission. He then changed the background image on a teacher's computer to one showing two men kissing.
