1. Sorry, but that's not what I heard. He also went into the NASA and other government agencies. Not only did he do "some pentesting" outside. He actually went in, and from inside did further "things". We don't know what he did inside, but he did enough to convince a judge to send him to the the States.
You're talking about Gary McKinnon, a Brit who used (if I remember correctly from articles I read a while back when he got caught) really basic windows vulnerabilities such as unsecured shares, as well as a few other ancient tricks to mess around with nasa and pentagon computers, apparently in some sort of search for secret information about UFOs. The slashdot article linked to in the original e-mail is about a completely different case, involving someone called "Bret McDanel". Read before you snark.
