Former Central Missouri student admits to hacking campus system

A former University of Central Missouri student who taunted investigators isn’t feeling so smart today. Daniel J. Fowler, 21, pleaded guilty to charges stemming from his participation in a computer-hacking conspiracy.

Fowler was indicted last fall on charges that he and another man, Joseph A. Camp, gained unauthorized access to the university computer network. Authorities said the men accessed and tried to sell faculty, staff, alumni and student information.
