雖然是 4/1 新聞，可是引用的報導是 3/30，而且下面的 comments 看起來好像是真的 XD Student Hacks System to Alter Grades：

A UCSB student is being charged with four felonies after she allegedly stole the identity of two professors and used the information to change her own and several other students’ grades, police said.

怎麼 crack 呢，因為為了怕教授們忘記密碼的時候不知道怎麼辦，所以這個系統 (eGrades) 可以用社會安全號碼與出生日期拿到密碼：

The Universty of California Santa Barbara has a custom program, eGrades, where faculty can submit and alter grades. It’s password protected, of course. But there’s a backup system, so that faculty who forget their password can reset it using their Social Security number and date of birth.

很明顯的，這是程式上的瑕疵，於是被學生給予正義的一擊… (不過怎麼會被抓呢 *thinking*)
