Two former students conspired to obtain and deal large databases of faculty and alumni information, alteration grades and steal funds from the accounts of other students. The two students developed malware that allowed them to capture passwords and advance unauthorized access to the University's network. The students were able to install the malware in a variety of ways. For example, the students obtained the information of other students by inserting a thumb ride into public PCs and personal laptops. Malware was installed on at least one University administrator's computer and the login credentials of a residence mansion director were stolen.One of the men pleaded guilty to charges of computer hacking conspiracy and computer intrusion. Charges are pending against the student's alleged accomplice.
