British student fights extradition to US for allegedly hacking the FBI and Nasa

US says Anonymous hacker Lauri Love 'secretly infiltrated' computer systems and faces 12 years in prison, more than others charged in the UK

On any given sunny day during this past summer, Lauri Love could be found playing music in Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds, inside the ruins of an 11th century abbey. He'd strap a sound system to a bike, and sometimes add lasers and instruments. "Like busking, but without the money," he said of his pastime.

As he played, he knew these might be his last days outside enjoying the warm sunshine for some time. Love, a 30-year-old engineering student from Suffolk with a history of mental health issues, is wanted for extradition by the United States under the notorious US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).
