A London man described as the "world's biggest computer hacker" has been arrested.

Gary McKinnon, 39, was seized by the Met's extradition unit at his Wood Green home.

The unemployed former computer engineer is accused of causing the US government $1billion of damage by breaking into its most secure computers at the Pentagon and Nasa. He is likely to be extradited to America to face eight counts of computer crime in 14 states and could be jailed for 70 years.

Friends said that he broke into the networks from his home computer to try to prove his theory that the US was covering up the existence of UFOs.

Hacking the Pentagon would make this a terrorist act so he'll prolly end up in Gitmo.
There he will be tortured by sadistic guards who will piss on P4EEs and force him to play Doom3 for hours at a time.

Oh the inhumanity.
