Cybersecurity majors admit to the Great Snevets Hack of 2019

After months and months of investigation, the officials have finally found enough evidence to conclude that it was the cybersecurity students who hacked Snevets before the Fall 2019 semester started. Looking back at such dark times, one really wonders why someone would commit such a heinous crime of hacking a school where countless people yearning for a degree work hard day in and day out. After all, college is but a place that makes millions per semester on the blood, sweat, and tears of those students working for a degree. Who could have imagined that the students would hack their own school as an act of rebellion?

It was a warm day on Friday, the 31st day of May. All the grades were finalized, and transcripts were ready. Then suddenly a group of five friends checked their grades together after grinding to get all As in EE 551: Engineering Programming: Python. Sitting in their hot, dingy one-bedroom apartment in Bohoken, the students went into shock after discovering that they had all been given a B+. The horror that crossed their face was the same as the horror of reciting a long order to the waiter when eating out. It was the same horror of entering the Hump’s bathroom after someone had clogged the toilet. What were they ever going to do? They would never find jobs, they would never be able to move out of this hot one-bedroom apartment, and worst of all they would never be able to afford that trip to South Korea for their street food. With this enormous GPA drop, their lives were over.

Then suddenly one of them said, “it doesn’t have to be like this.” And that was the precise moment when they decided that they would use the knowledge that they learned from EE551 and prove exactly how good they were at coding by hacking the Snevets system. What started as a ploy to get a higher grade soon turned into a criminal activity that went under federal investigation. The students are now under review by the Snevets’ Honesty Board as the FBI decided this was an internal matter within the Snevets Community.
