Description

A young man and woman who allegedly deleted a student's university enrolment in five subjects and hacked his Facebook and email accounts face up to a decade in jail if convicted of the cybercrime. Jake Anthony Parker Davis, 21, of Port Noarlunga South, and Sarah Ruqayyah Salah, 22, of Melrose Park, have pleaded not guilty to eight counts each of unauthorised modification of computer data. The offence carries a maximum 10-year jail term and the charges come amid a wave of cyber crimes going through the courts as the law tries to keep up with sweeping technological advances.
