    McKinnon is accused of hacking into 97 United States military and NASA computers over a 13-month period between February 2001 and March 2002, at his girlfriend's aunt's house in London,[3] using the name 'Solo'.[2]

    The US authorities claim he deleted critical files from operating systems, which shut down the United States Army’s Military District of Washington network of 2,000 computers for 24 hours. McKinnon also posted a notice on the military's website: "Your security is crap". After the September 11 attacks in 2001, he deleted weapons logs at the Earle Naval Weapons Station, rendering its network of 300 computers inoperable and paralyzing munitions supply deliveries for the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet. McKinnon is also accused of copying data, account files and passwords onto his own computer. US authorities claim the cost of tracking and correcting the problems he caused was over $700,000.[4]

    That's why they made such a big deal about it. He made them look stupid to the rest of the world. Glad it's all been dropped now.
    Wish he could hack into my bank and credit my account with a million or two

    I cant remember hearing this guy say anything in public, only his mother. He`s got away with it,I think he has a case to answer and should be charged over here. Who is this great british public that creates the furure, every one I know think he was caught bang to rights, same as the MP Moran who must be laughing at the law.
