'The boy beat the Koreans with a few lines of computer code that no one else in the world could have thought of'

Under the cover of darkness, a secret unit of the SAS, called the secret unit of the SAS and known only to two men in the entire United Kingdom, one of whom was Frederick Forsyth, raided a house in Luton, Bedfordshire, England. What they found there amazed even them.

Three months earlier experts at Fort Meade, home to America's top secret National Security Agency in Maryland, America, had noticed that their top secret computer defences had been breached.
