deleted Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 He should be allowed to stay in the UK as the crime was commited from the UK and he is a UK Citezen. He never damaged anything, so i dont think he should get 60 years. They are only going to allow it so they can keep their "special bond" with the US. If he is extrodited to the US, they will say he is a terrorist and sling him in Guantanamo Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is extrodited to the US, they will say he is a terrorist and sling him in Guantanamo Bay. Sadly due to our pathetic government we allow our own citizens to be extradited to the US without even a prima facie case (i.e. the US doesn't have to show any evidence at all to extradite) even though the same is not true the other way. Countries like France and Germany don't even allow their own citizens to be extradited under any circumstances, never mind without evidence.

metatron Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The guy brought it on himself and never even tried to hide his tracks. They would of had to rebuild all the computers and network equipment which may have been compromised and that costs a hell of a lot of money to do. No one in there right mind from a western country fucks with US government computer after 9/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Using his own computer at home in London, McKinnon hacked into 97 computers belonging to and used by the U.S. government between February 2001 and March 2002. McKinnon is accused of causing the entire U.S. Army's Military District of Washington network of more than 2,000 computers to be shut down for 24 hours. Using a limited 56-kbps dialup modem and the hacking name "Solo" he found many U.S. security systems used an insecure Microsoft Windows program with no password protection. He then bought off-the-shelf software and scanned military networks, saying he found expert testimonies from senior figures reporting that technology obtained from extra-terrestrials did exist. At the time of his indictment, Paul McNulty, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, said: "Mr. McKinnon is charged with the biggest military computer hack of all time." http://gizmodo.com/5032380/biggest-militar...-56k-connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
