World's biggest computer hacker arrested
In an attempt prove that the U.S. was concealing evidence that we have been repeatedly visited by UFO's, an unemployed computer programmer allegedly hacked into 92 separate Pentagon and Nasa networks, causing damage estimated at a billion dollars.
Gary McKinnon, 39, known online as 'Solo' online, allegedly compromised extremely sensitive networks by searching for computers with known security vulnerabilities and by guessing a few simple passwords.
If he is successfully extradited to America, he will face computer crime charges in 14 states. If convicted on all counts, he could spend up to 70 years in federal "pound you in the ass" prison and be fined close to two million dollars.
U.S. Authorities spent nearly a million dollars tracking him down.
