lapin2008 1,587 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Bout time... It always seemed shocking to me that we were prepared to allow all the bullshit from abu hanzer who represents a real and present threat to this country for so many years yet when someone like Gary McKinnon has to be extradited who doesnt pose any threat to anyone other than himself there seemed to be very little anyone could do about it.

PIL 7 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Good news ! If he is to serve a sentence it should be working for the government for a wage 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frann 882 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Great news! As PIL says, get him a job in computer security. Didnt the FBI do that with a hacker in the US? Sure they did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lapin2008 1,587 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 The problem is that when Gary Mckinnon did what he did, it was when the internet was a much different place to the modern day www. Stuff was generally much less secure but also there were far fewer people trying to break into stuff What he did was relatively simple to do and so it would be of no real benefit for a government to employ him. The actual attack is something that probably most of todays IT user population would be able to do with very little instruction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
