WHAT HE DID?

hacked into the most secure Pentagon servers in the United States used by the military and NASA,

Purpose of hack:

His curiosity about UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrials brought the necessary information not only to him but great news to all

conspiracy theorists and ufologists.

THE PUNISHMENT HE GOT :

When the information about this hack reached the US authorities, they demanded for more than 10 years extradition of McKinnon from the UK to the

The US in order to try him and imprison him.

Then it was clear that if this happened, McKinnon could tell in court too much of what the US authorities would prefer not to disclose, even in a closed trial.

This could be a real disaster for the Pentagon, as well as for all its military and space activities. This happened after McKinnon was declared insane in the UK. Officially,

However, when McKinnon’s story became public, he had a large support group that opposed his extradition and began collecting money for legal costs

Impact:

As a result of Mr McKinnon’s actions, we suffered serious damage. This was not some harmless incident. He did very serious and deliberate damage to military and Nasa computers and left silly and anti-America messages. All the evidence was that someone was staging a very serious attack on US computer systems.

Tools and techniques used:

No one knows exactly as he didn’t state it,He was able to access these top secret documents through a program called Landsearch, which, after having gained control over the domain, had the ability to search all the files and folders “on every machine”.

After life style:

After the verdict of 2012, Gary McKinnon left the hacking business and started providing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services to companies and organizations through SmallSeo.co.uk. He began to write blogs and giving lectures on his experience in programming, network implementation, and others. There is no news of him in the past few years; maybe he is just living an anonymous life.
