Pretty harmless? I'll admit that I don't know much about this case, but this bit seems to indicate otherwise:
"Mr McKinnon admits that he hacked into 97 US computers from his bedroom in north London between 2001 and 2002 and left a message on one machine saying: "I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels.""
Two years, almost 100 computer systems, taunting and threats.. that doesn't sound so harmless to me.

- swombat 17y agoThe full message that he left was: “US foreign policy is akin to government-sponsored terrorism these days . . . It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11 last year . . . I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels . . .” In context, it seems less sinister, more stupid / self-important.
