Romanian Accused of Breaking Into NASA

alphadogg writes "Romanian authorities have arrested a 26-year old hacker who is accused of breaking into multiple NASA servers and causing $500,000 in damages to the U.S. space agency's systems. Robert Butyka, 26, was arrested on Tuesday in Western Romania following an investigation by the Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism. According to local reports, the hacker used the online moniker of 'Iceman.' He does not have a higher education or an occupation, a DIICOT spokeswoman said."

    well, he also owns a computer, this is almost a 100% indication that he is a pedophile-terrorist, or a pedo-rist.

    This is what government is for - making sure that the right people are always punished for their transgressions. That's why Jon Corzine is in charge normally, of some government and/or economic function somehow and disgusting people like Ron Paul are blacked out by the media because they challenge the status-quo.

    Also USA is sending troops to Australia. You know, in case pro-Chinese Kangaroos join Al-Qaeda.
