A student who tried to cheat his way to a better degree by hacking into the university computers and changing his marks has been jailed.
Imran Uddin, 25, who was studying science, bought keyboard spying equipment on the internet which he then connected to a number of university computers.
Through the software, which recorded key strokes, he was able to find out the passwords that staff were typing in to log in to the computers. He then used those passwords to log on to their accounts himself.
After hacking into the university computer system, Uddin changed the marks that he had been given for previous assessments.

Imran’s jihadi handlers will not be pleased. No doubt he was there at their behest in the first place to actually learn the ins and outs of bioterrorism or some such.
Poor guy probably succumbed to the evils of western infidelism and the ways of the Democrat - “Why work for it when you can steal it?”

This is not surprising. There was a dustup last year about how UK universities were looking the other way with non-English-speaking immigrant students having English-speaking people take their TOEIC (Test of English in International Communication) for them, so that they could stay at the college, and the colleges could get the state subsidies. As soon as ETS, the company that administers the test world-wide, found out about the scheme, they pulled the plug and worked with the authorities to catch the cheaters.

Fool. Anyone knows you have to give better grades to EVERYONE. It’s pretty frickin’ obvious if only ONE person’s grade is changed.

Just thought I would tell you that, in case the fact had not registered in your brain even after your third reading of it in the same article.

Really? The University of Michigan waived the GRE for foreign students too in many departments.
To: pabianice
Was this article written by one of his fellow foreigners? (Also, lack of punctuation is from the article as well!)
