London hacker loses appeal over US extradition

A London man accused of hacking into the computer systems of the US military and NASA on Wednesday lost his appeal against extradition to face trial.
Gary McKinnon, 42, tried to prevent his transfer to the United States to be tried over what has been described as the "biggest military hack of all time" by taking his case to Britain's highest court, the House of Lords.

But five judges unanimously rejected the appeal, paving the way for the unemployed UFO enthusiast to be extradited to the US, where he could be jailed for up to 70 years if convicted of sabotaging vital US defence systems.

McKinnon, from Enfield in north London, was not in court to hear the ruling, but a statement read by his lawyers afterwards denied that he was either "a terrorist (or) a terrorist sympathiser".

"His case could have been properly dealt with by our own prosecuting authorities," they said.

"Instead, we believe that the British government declined to prosecute him to enable the US government to make an example of him. American officials involved in this case have stated that they want to see him 'fry'.

the sad thing is, he was just surfing for porn and got lost in the interwebs.

lookout123 · 07-30-2008, 03:29 PM

it's easy to do. I launched an ICBM the other day without realizing it. The guy from The Geek Squad had to fix it for me. I wonder where that landed?

I would, but he's busy defending a guy who kept his wife in the freezer and some nerd being extradited.

I'm sure the US is making use of the way in which he hacked the system. They should be glad he showed them the flaw, although I think it's fair to say DEATH TO ALL HACKERS!!!

When we say "fry" are we talking electric chair or something here?

There is no death penalty in the UK and any extraditions are conditional that no capital punishment is imposed.

No, it was a figure of speech quoted from the article. Which is why he will more likely than not spend a vacation in one of our very nice federal prisons.
