Boy arrested after changing his teacher's desktop background to two men kissing

Harsh.

A MIDDLE SCHOOL student was arrested and charged with a cybercrime after he hacked into his school’s computer system to play a prank on a teacher he didn’t like.

Tampa Bay Times reports that the student was charged with an offense against a computer system and unauthorised access.

The 14-year-old student reportedly logged into computers using an administrative password and changed his teacher’s desktop background to an image of two men kissing.

So I logged out of that computer and logged into a different one and I logged into a teacher’s computer who I didn’t like and tried putting inappropriate pictures onto his computer to annoy him.

Unfortunately, the typical schoolboy prank went disastrously wrong as the young would-be Zuckerberg was arrested and given a 10-day suspension from school.

Ouch.

For its part, the school says that it is currently in the “process” of changing the password.

Is this cat going up or down these stairs? >
