Portrait of hackers with the most dangerous autism in the world

Although talent is not used properly, anyone who talks about this hacker must admit that he is really good.

In 2002, a strange announcement appeared on US military computer screens: "The US military's security system has too many mistakes. I'm Solo. I will continue to sabotage to the highest level." . Later, the letter was identified by Gary McKinnon, the hacker is considered the most dangerous in the world.

Talent put the wrong place

Gary McKinnon was born on February 10, 1966 in Glasgow (Scotland), a freelance computer technician in the UK.

Talent but McKinnon has no formal job because he does not want to follow the direction of others. The nature of curiosity, a desire to explore from an early age, he used most of the time to challenge the most strictly secure computer systems.

The more difficult it is, the more excited McKinnon becomes. The Pentagon computer system and the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) are such obstacles.

Gary McKinnon was NASA's obsession as well as the US military.

According to investigative reports, during a 13-month period between February 2001 and March 2002, McKinnon's nickname 'Solo' broke into 97 computers of the US Army and NASA. He uses the remote control software to make the computer work as he wants, wiping out important files, causing computers to become infected.

In addition, the hacker once completely knocked down a system of 2000 computers across Washington, DC within 24 hours.

According to the US government, the hacker caused an estimated loss of 700 thousand dollars when destroying systems to control missiles and important data, while searching for information about energy and UFOs. This is considered the "biggest military computer system attack in history" , performed by a single person.

As a clever and very careful hacker, authorities have had a lot of trouble trying to track down this dangerous vandal. However, in a miscarriage of time zones, he broke into and used the remote control software on a computer when his owner was sitting in front of the screen. This mistake made McKinnon's act begin to be revealed.

Hackers have autism

After being arrested, McKinnon argued that he did not intend to sabotage but just wanted to prove that the computer systems of the US military and NASA still had many loopholes. In addition, he wanted to see US confidential documents about unidentified flying objects.

According to US law, once convicted, McKinnon may be jailed for 70 years. Thus, he had the ability to sit on the calendar behind bars for the rest of his life. Not only that, much of the information suggested that he would be detained at Guantanamo Prison in Cuba, the 'second home' of dangerous terrorist criminals.

McKinnon has Asperger's development disorder, a serious form of autism.

However, this move was eventually disabled in 2012 after years of lengthy legal proceedings, when medical experts claimed that McKinnon had Asperger's development disorder , a form of autism important.

Symptoms of Asperger's syndrome are very consistent with Gary's actions: it is very intelligent and has a special understanding of complex systems . Although this disease makes patients difficult in some social interactions, they tend to be genius in a certain area. And for McKinnon, it's a computer.

In November 2012, McKinnon was informed that there would be no accusations and could use the computer again even if it was previously banned.

Currently, the hacker owns the small SEO company, specializing in interfering with websites to improve search results to a higher position on search engines.

Hackers are a term for people who are extremely good at computer technology, especially in security. However, many of them use their talents to do illegal things. World history has repeatedly witnessed the disasters that "black hat hackers" caused, from the theft of huge amounts of money to confidential information stolen and sold .
