Found this tonight (morning to you)
http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11199
A Briton suspected of hacking into numerous US military and NASA computers faces an extradition fight following his arrest in London on Tuesday
The US government claims it spent $1m fixing the damage allegedly caused by McKinnon, who was indicted in 2002 by a Federal Grand Jury over eight computer crime offences. The offences are punishable on conviction by up to five years in prison.
this is the bit I thought funny.. here is an off the shelf program..
He is accused of scanning networks for vulnerabilities prior to using a software program called RemotelyAnywhere to snoop on network traffic and erase files.
I wonder what he used to scann the networks.. GFI LAN Scan?
