UK Hacker loses Extradition Case

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stylish-orange-jumpsuit dept.

SnakeOil Steve writes to tell us that Gary McKinnon, the alleged hacker who broke into Army, Air Force, Navy, and NASA systems, has just lost his extradition case. From the article: "'My intention was never to disrupt security. The fact that I logged on and there were no passwords means that there was no security,' McKinnon said, outside the hearing at London's Bow Street Magistrates Court. 'I was looking for UFOs.'"

    "By the same standards the USA is clearly a repressive regime."

    So apparently 'insightful' on /. means 'completely lacking perspective regarding history, politics, and social theory'. Good to know for future reference.
