Cybercrime pays?

Then... as reported on eWeek, Gary McKinnon, a British man accused of illegally accessing United States government agency computers, will be extradited to the U.S to face up to 70 years in jail. McKinnon admits having gained access to Pentagon, U.S. Army and Nasa computers systems but denies that there was any damaged caused - the U.S. government, on the other hand, claims that damage is comparable to $700,000.
So the lesson here is that cybercrime pays the best if your targets are U.S. military or other government agency computers.
