A former student at the University of Central Missouri will spend
three years in federal prison for taking part in a conspiracy to hack
into the school's computer network.

The U.S. Attorney's office says 29-year-old Joseph A. Camp, of Kansas
City, must also pay more than $61,000 in restitution under the
sentence he received Wednesday.

Camp pleaded guilty in April to scheming with another student to hack
the computer system at the Warrensburg school from March 2009 to March
2010.

The conspiracy involved downloading large amounts of data containing
faculty, alumni and student information. Prosecutors said Camp and
co-defendant Daniel Fowler also attempted to change grades and
transferred money to their student accounts.

Fowler, also of Kansas City, pleaded guilty in June 2011 and is
awaiting sentencing.
