New Hope Woman Hacked Into BCCC Network, Changed Grades: Cops
One woman accessed a faculty member's personal info at her medical office job and gave it to another, who then logged in and changed grades.

Two women, one from Yardley another from New Hope, have been arrested after police say they illegally accessed the Bucks County Community College computer network and changed student grades, Newtown Township Police announced Thursday.
Alesisha Morosco, 30, of New Hope, and Kelly Marryott, 37, of Yardley, were arrested Thursday. Police said Marryott got the personal information of the faculty member at her job at a medical office, and gave it to Morosco, who used it to access the college's computer network and change grades, including her own.
Police say the investigation into the incident began in July, when officers said Bucks County Community College school staff learned that someone had gained unauthorized access to the school's computer network. Staff told police someone was using a faculty member’s credentials, and made changes to the grades of several students.
