www.guardian.co.ukThe British national Gary McKinnon today lost his high court bid to avoid extradition to the US for allegedly carrying out the "biggest military computer hack of all time".
The case dates back to 2001, when it is alleged Mr McKinnon hacked into computers belonging to the US military and scientific establishments from his home in Wood Green, north London.
Under the codename Solo, he is said during a period of 18 months to have hacked into hundreds of machines belonging to the Pentagon, the US army and air force and Nasa not properly secured by officials.
One less hurdle now to get him across the pond to stand trial for his actions. I wonder when this is all said and done what kind of punishment he will get handed out as a 70 year sentence would set a record for punishment relating to computer crime I do believe. Maybe if he gets out early for good behavior he can go work with Mitnick, I'm sure he could use another loser on his crew.
edit: if you want some nice entertainment watching morons try to defend his actions go here
