"The unemployed former computer engineer is accused of causing the US government $1billion of damage by breaking into its most secure computers at the Pentagon and Nasa. He is likely to be extradited to America to face eight counts of computer crime in 14 states and could be jailed for 70 years."


oh, if you want to post it as news, thats fine by me.

I think their servers use Windows, or they use an outdated linux kernel with a vunerable network stack, and no packet filtering. With the intelligence of the US goverment these days, the first option would be my guess! Anyway yeah, UK rules, US is pwned!!

"Cause them $1 billion in damages" my ass! They only costs he might have incurred, is forcing them to get decent computer security. I think this guy should only get maybe a year or two in jail, some fines and community service hours. It really isn't that serious, the government just hates it when they are shown to be wrong.
