London: A British man wanted in the United States for what US authorities have called the largest hacking effort against American military networks has been freed on bail by Bow Street Magistrates Court.

His solicitor, Karen Todner, confirmed a published report that McKinnon was motivated by a desire to expose the ease with which a civilian could breach government computer systems, and by a strong conviction that the US Government was concealing evidence of UFOs.
A lawyer acting for the US Government, Janet Boston, told the court McKinnon had installed unauthorised software on computers in the US army, navy and air force, NASA and the Department of Defence that allowed him to "completely control the computers".

any of u guys heard of this dude?...

Pretty scary. He could shut down the Army's control of Washington D.C.

Damnit, he was probably really close to finding evidence at the time, too.

Now that you're bailed out, get cracking, dude.

i wish he does start doing that again, and this time has enough time to get proof...if they arrest him again with the proof being given to the public...the US government will be in deep doo-doo.
