No way bloke.
How can someone unrelated in England own a NASA or Pentagon computer? He wasn't an employee. And how can you get Admin or root access from the outside? Makes no sense. Not only that, firewalls prevent requests from the outside unless initiated from the inside. Remote access still needs the password. He had help from the inside. You will not be able to bust in my Win2k setup. First you would have to penetrate the hardware firewall, then guess the root password of the workstation and figure out how to turn on file sharing. Our security is a friggin joke if this guy got thru.
