Hacker Broke Into Pentagon System Searching for Aliens

Per capita Great Britain lead(s) the world in personal computers and many innovations we take for granted have come from there, Sir Sinclair's first GPS for yachts, etc. We live in interesting times. How can the US government be so vulnerable to a 56K modem?

Jung called a "manifestation of the collective unconscious" UFOs, often seen by mentally unbalanced people for ages, and also perpetrated by other people and I dare say governments? If there was no serious "cracking" of codes and these systems were so ridiculously lax in security, I find it hard to believe the this "punishment fits the crime".
