Daniel J. Fowler, 21, admitted that he and another man conspired for a year beginning in March 2009 to plunder the UCM computer network by downloading large databases of student, alumni, staff and faculty information, which they later tried to sell.
The men also transferred money to their student accounts and attempted to change their grades, Fowler admitted.
A grand jury charged Fowler and Joseph A. Camp, 27, a New York state resident, in November with conspiracy, fraud, computer intrusion, illegal interception of electronic communications and aggravated identity theft. Both are former UCM students.
