Qld uni law student 'hacker' faces court

A law student accused of hacking into the University of Queensland's computer system to cheat his way to better marks has faced court.

Matthew Lino Bianchin Wilkinson, 24, appeared briefly in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning on 14 charges, including six for using a restricted computer and four in relation to fraud.

His case was adjourned until January 20.

Lawyer Nick Crawford, for Wilkinson, said it was too early to say how his client would plead.

"We've only just received the material this morning," he said outside court on Tuesday.

"The matter needs to be reviewed and we haven't made a decision at this point."

Wilkinson made no comment when asked whether he was concerned with the allegations given he was a law student.
