Of course the first place would be the genius Gary Mckinnon, the guy who broke into the nasa and military computer systems.

Gary Mckinnon is a Scottish hacking accused by the United States of perpetrating the "Greatest attack of all time a military computer". after several hearings in July 2006 in the UK, it was decided that he should be extradited to The United States. Their lawyers appealed against this decision in a resource being foisted upon the high court in London in February 2007.

Mckinnon is accused of having accessed illegally and damaged 53 computers of the American Army, Aeronautics, the Pentagon and the American Space Agency (NASA) between February 2001 and March 2002. Chased in 14 American States, For eight counts, "Mckinnon is accused of having committed the greatest act of piracy in computer science of all time", said the promoter of the state of Virginia, Paul Mcnulty,
One of the minutes of accusation that highlights some of the information gathered by Mckinnon could be "useful directly or indirectly to an enemy" of the United States.
According to Washington, the damage caused by Mckinnon amount to a million dollars.
However, Gary Mckinnon, known as "Solo" in the world of hackers, says that the American authorities were wrong about their real motives. "He does not deny that something has happened, don't deny having accessed the computer system", has declared his lawyer, Karen Todner. "your reason was twofold: to prove the existence of the UFO and demonstrate the flaws of the safety of the American system", explains todner.

In 2009 the high court dismissed the appeal by the lawyers of Gary Mckinnon - a 43 year old unemployed qualified for justice American as the "Greatest hack of all time" -, against the decision of the minister of the interior, Jacqui Smith, who, in October 2008, gave the green light to his extradition to the United States.
