    Military 'hacker' freed on bail

    A British man arrested for allegedly carrying out the "biggest military computer hack of all time" has been released on bail by magistrates.

    Gary McKinnon, who is accused of hacking into 53 US military and Nasa computers in 2001 and 2002, appeared at Bow Street Magistrates Court in London.

    The 39-year-old, of Wood Green, north London, will be back in court for an extradition hearing on 27 July.

    His lawyer said he would contest extradition to the US "vigorously".

    Anyway, they should give this guy a medal and a job for pointing out all the problems the US government had with internet security.
