With just Computer Craft installed, there is no way to find WHO used a computer.
You could have the computer record when it was used, but that won't be a simple thing to do and it might not help much anyway

Some CC addons have player sensors that can detect players in a small range around them.
You could have a hidden computer logging the players that are in range, and the time that they were detected.

A well written program is hard if not impossible to grief. I would recommend looking into ways to secure the program. os.pullEventRaw and such.
And by gamemaster you mean admin? If so you can get spawn protection to add more computer security (by blocking block placement/destruction)
Also a computer of such high important should never use wireless.

I would say it also depends on your server environment. If it is a vanilla tekkit server, then there's no easy way to protect the computers (unless you just block termination+startup script+no disk drive next to the computer). If it is a cauldron server you can just write a plugin that logs rightclick events on specific blocks, logs the player and cancels the event if needed.

why not just encase the computer in bedrock, with only the screen visible??

you cant alter a program if only the screen is visible, and you cant alter a program using wireless connections, if the computer isnt looking for information streams wireless..
thats atleast what i know of.

Leaving even a single face exposed is enough to take control of a computer.

That doesn't tell us much about the pack version you're using, hence we still don't know what version of ComputerCraft you've actually got sitting in your mod folder. Let alone whether OpenPeripherals/MiscPeripherals/etc are in there, too. An actual link to the page describing the specific pack you've got would be helpful.

Is your spawn area protected? That is to say, are non-OPs able to place blocks there?

Even if you believe it is, take a turtle and see if IT can place/harvest blocks around spawn. Yes / no?

Exactly what is the purpose of these particular computers?

nobody is able to build in and around spawn expect those with /we
or with Covers so only OP's can Build in or around spawn
and as i khow CCturtles as been set to false
so turtle's cant do anything expect moving
and we run 3 computers there…
one is controling the reactor under the spawn for public power
one is Displaying info of the server such as rules and how to use mytown
and the other one is just a boardcast for events running or for warnings
they are all well hidden as only the monitor is visable
only staff khow where the real computers are

More or less.
If the bottom side is a invulnerable disk that runs a startup program and is terminate proof then theroretically it is "unhackable" because bottom is always checked first.

Doesn't sound like anyone COULD access the computer. Except staff.. I assume you trust your staff ;)/>
