Indictments fall on Swede for Cisco, NASA attacks

Phillip Gabriel Pettersson was indicted for the attacks on Monday in California. The Cisco hack resulted in the publication of the source code for the company s IOS software, which runs its ubiquitous routers. The attacks on NASA and NASA got him on the radar of U.S. authorities. Because Sweden will not extradite its citizens, he likely will not face trial here. The hacker also was convicted two years ago of attacking networks in Sweden, but it’s not clear if he will face trial.
