A high school student was arrested Wednesday in Concord after investigators say he hacked into school computers and changed grades.

KRON4's Lydia Pantazes is at Ygnacio Valley High School where it happened.

She says investigators say he was able to get a teacher's credentials using a phishing email. From there, he was able to access the Ygnacio Valley High School computer system and changed grades for several students.

 

 

The U.S. Secret Service assisted in the arrest. One of their canines found an SD card containing evidence hidden in a tissue box.

The boy's name won't be released because he is underage.

Police said the hacker did not steal any personal information.

Police made the arrest after the Mount Diablo Unified School District notified officers.
