A Kansas City man pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to his role 
in an elaborate scheme to hack computers at the University of Central 
Missouri in Warrensburg.

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.

resident, in November with conspiracy, fraud, computer intrusion, 
illegal interception of electronic communications and aggravated 
identity theft. Both are former UCM students.
