Melissa Loveday writes on SC Magazine Online:

Gary McKinnon, the US government's most wanted IT geek spoke out at Infosecurity Europe yesterday against his possible extradition to the states where he will face charges of hacking into the US Military's computer systems.

McKinnon is accused of intentionally causing damage without authorization to computers belonging to the US government, including hacking into 97 Army, Navy, Department of Defense and NASA computers where he allegedly deleted files and installed tools used for obtaining unauthorized access to computers.
