A South Tahoe High School student has been arrested on suspicion of hacking into the school’s computer system, school officials said.
District administrators said they found a security breach in one of the computers last week, and the 17-year-old boy may have accessed sensitive information regarding staff and students.
The student was suspended after the discovery and arrested Wednesday after a follow-up investigation by police.
The exposure appears to be limited to the school’s internal student information system, according to a district news release.
