A Briton accused of hacking into top secret military computers has lost a Law Lords appeal against being extradited to stand trial in the US.

Was this for his own gain and not doing any harm? His defence was it was just looking for UFO's. Very Happy Did he find any aliens?

If it can be proved that he altered or deleted any files or altered official accessibility to files or made any systems inoperable then his 'looking for UFOs' explanation is weakened.

He knew he was acting illegally and he deserves to be punished.. it's backfired on him that's all.
But my first thoughts were, as others on the Vine show, - the Yanks should give him a job!

The most amazing thing about this story is that the bloke had a girlfriend. There's hope for everyone!
