Gary McKinnon set to face extradition after Crown Prosecution Service ruling
"Hacker Gary McKinnon is set to face extradition to the US following a Crown Prosecution Service ruling.
The service has refused to bring charges against him after a decision found
that there was sufficient evidence to prosecute him, the evidence is
not reflected in the criminality that is alleged by the American
authorities.
McKinnon was arrested in 2002 after allegedly hacking into computers belonging
to the US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, Department of Defense and NASA.
He claimed that he broke into the networks only to uncover confidential
information about anti-gravity propulsion systems and extraterrestrial
technology which he believed the authorities were hiding from the
public."
I've covered Gary multiple times in the past.
