"COMPUTER hacker Gary McKinnon has signed a formal confession in a
last-ditch attempt to avoid his extradition to the US, his family have
confirmed.
Former Highgate Wood School pupil Mr McKinnon, 42, is
currently awaiting extradition after being accused of causing $700,000
worth of damage when he allegedly hacked into US security systems from
his Crouch End home in 2002.
Wilson Sharp, who has been Mr
McKinnon's stepfather for 36 years, said: "Gary admitted hacking into
the systems when he was originally caught but this is more formal.

We've covered Gary many times before. Apparently he was hacking NASA in an attempt to find evidence of UFO's.
