A Stark County high school senior has been arrested and charged for allegedly trying to crash his school’s computer system. Police say the student created a website, which connected to the school’s system and when enough users logged on and hit the F5 button, it overloaded the school’s system. But, Lake High School caught-on before the system crashed. Its computers started slowing down.
“It’s a crime and it is important we take this seriously … especially for school officials … it could have done a tremendous amount of damage,” said Canton City Prosecutor Frank Fronchione.
Stone is charged with a felony and could face jail time.
But, prosecutors say community service is more likely and disciplinary action from the school.
