LulzSec 'hacker' Ryan Cleary unlikely to be extradited to US because he has Asperger's syndrome The case is likely to add further weight to the case of Gary McKinnon who is currently challenging a US bid to extradite him on charges of hacking into highly sensitive military computers eight years ago. Mr McKinnon, who suffers from autism, admits hacking but claims he was looking for evidence of UFOs. His mother, Janis Sharp, claims that Mr McKinnon would commit suicide if the extradition went ahead. But a recent psychological report suggested Mr McKinnon would be unlikely to take his own life if tried in America. Home Secretary, Theresa May is currently considering his case which is due back before the High Court in July. Gary McKinnon Cleary, from Wickford in Essex, faces charges of doing an unauthorised act with intent to impair or with recklessness as to impair the operation of a computer between February 1 and September 30 last year. He is allegedly a member of online activists LulzSec, a spin-off of the loosely organised hacking collective Anonymous. The British indictment alleges that the four plotted together and with others to carry out so-called distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, where websites are flooded with traffic to make them crash. They are accused of launching DDoS attacks on the Serious Organised Crime Agency, the CIA, News International, Sony, US computer game firm Bethesda, web-based game Eve Online and the fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, US. The four are also charged with conspiring to hack into computers operated by the NHS, News International, Sony, Nintendo, film studio 20th Century Fox, US public broadcaster PBS, and US computer security organisations HBGary, Black & Berg and Infraguard. Cleary is accused of conspiring with Ryan Ackroyd, 25, Jake Davis, 18, and a 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, to do an unauthorised act with intent to impair or with recklessness as to impair the operation of a computer between February 1 and September 30 last year. LulzSec was formed last May. Lulz is internet slang that can be interpreted as "laughs," "humour" or "amusement."
