SINGAPORE — Posing as the vice-principal of a girl’s junior college, a teenager got her to reveal her email password by claiming that a hacker had broken into the school’s Gmail account.

On Wednesday , the 18-year-old Singaporean polytechnic student was sentenced to one-and-a-half years’ probation, which is usually offered to first-time offenders between 16 and 21 years old.

The teenager cannot be identified because he committed some of the crimes when he was not yet 18. The Children and Young Persons Act bans the publication of the identities of such young offenders.The teenager earlier pleaded guilty to one charge each of cheating by personation, unauthorised access of computer material and the unauthorised modification of such material. Five other similar charges were considered during sentencing.

The teenager called the victim, a 17-year-old junior college student, and told her that he was the vice-principal of her junior college. He added that she needed to provide her email log-in password. This, he claimed, was because the school’s Gmail account was linked to her Instagram account.He logged into her email account to browse its contents, and gained access to her Apple ID account before changing her password.
