Yes, they are. Lotsa hackers out there. But THIS guy has the US DoD on his ass and I think NASA might be a tad pissed off, although I'm sure they'll see it as an opportunity to study the weaknesses of their systems. Suppose the guy was a for-real get into the system and play games and maybe pass on the info' The info would be gone elsewhere--hell, lots of elsewheres, so other than the how and the extent their securities were breached, why else get the fellow to the US for interrogation under the HLSA. This isn't about law, imo.
