US Busts Military Network Hacker

yorgasor writes " KATU has an article announcing the case of a mysterious hacker who has broken into roughly 100 military networks has been solved. The hacker is a British citizen and authorities were considering extradition for the case. Although no networks containing classified information were compromised, they do consider the hacker to be a professional rather than recreational due to the large number of networks he hacked."

    Hey, no matter how many times a day you do it, you're not a professional wanker unless you do like Ralphie on The Sopranos and... um... "use a cheese grater on your dong."

    this man was caught before he could have caused serious damage to the western world Firstly he wasn't hacking into anywhere where he could cause any damage and secondly after 100 hacks I think its safe to say he wasn't really out to do anything that damaging. And anyway I would like to know how you manage to justify calling him a terrorist, he didn't gain access to any classified networks, he didn't destroy any of the networks he broke into and most importantly I fail to see how any of his actions could possibly result in terror of any kind.

    This is NOT an uncommon scam by law enforcement. It's generally done if there either HAS been difficulty capturing a suspect or it is BELIEVED that there will be difficulty. Local police will sometimes hold "contests" with wanted subjects as the "winners". It's actually kinda funny when a guy comes in thinking he's won concert tickets and he's arrested for an outstanding warrant, then STILL asks if he really gets the tickets. (I've witnessed this very thing)
