Brit hacking Pentagon for UFO info stays home - UK govt

Britain's new government has given a reprieve to Gary McKinnon, the Scottish computer hacker facing extradition to the U.S. McKinnon is accused of breaking into the Pentagon and NASA networks in 2001 and 2002, causing damage that cost the U.S. almost a million dollars to repair. The fourty-four year old hacker has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome - a type of autism disorder. Now, the UK Home Secretary Theresa May has halted the extradition process, which was started by the previous government, and ordered a review of the extradition law.

FFS. The guy managed to access Pentagon and NASA servers over a dial-up MoDem from his bedroom. He managed this because there were no passwords set up. Million dollars of damage, my arse. Whoever was in charge of IT security needs sacking and Gary should get his/her job. This case is all bollocks for the sake of face-saving.

Brink of suicide or not..

One damned good hacker in my opinion.

I know a guy with the same dis order and he sits in his house all day perfecting every single player game he has for every single game console he has.

Not to mention his super computer.. man oh man.

He also designs video games (illegally)
