Student charged with using an iPod as a criminal tool

A student at Clay High School in Oregon City, Ohio is now facing criminal charges of hacking into school computers, and downloading sensitive student and staff files to an iPod. The official charge that the student is being charged with is "possession of a criminal tool", a felony charge.

Alledgedly, the student told another student about the hacking and a staff member overheard the conversation. The staff member then questioned the student, and confiscated the iPod.

The student has now withdrawn from the school and denied all charges, although an investigation is still on going. A hearing has also not yet been scheduled. In the meantime, the school district is working on upgrading its network security.
