“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. 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.”
