Bookroo's summary

When surveillance cameras in Bayport go offline, a college student is accused of leaking confidential information. The Hardys must unravel the mystery: did he betray the system, or is someone else pulling the strings? As they dig deeper, they uncover a web of secrets and deception. Can they clear the student's name before it's too late?

From the publisher

The Hardys find out that the Securitech company has a big contract with Bayport to install and monitor crime surveillance cameras all over town. A city official and is touting the system as the solution to “teen hooliganism”, among other things. But when the cameras go off-line, a college student whose job with Securitech is supposed to be part of a computer course, is accused of giving away secret information. Did he breach a confidentiality agreement or did someone else crack the codes he wrote?
