He had targeted the chatroom user, called Bokkie, after they argued over anti-American remarks she had made, Paul Addison, prosecuting, told Southwark Crown Court.

Mr Caffrey, who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome - a form of autism - was said to be in love with an American girl called Jessica at the time.

The jury heard that he was so obsessed with Jessica he named his computer after her and dedicated part of his attack script to her.

That right there says it all.

But his defense is worth noting.

Following an investigation, American authorities were able to trace the computer's internet provider number to a computer at Mr Caffrey's home.  He told police he was being exploited by other hackers who launched the attack and planted evidence in his hard drive.

Is it really paranoia if they really are out to get you?

Is that what they call asocial computer nerds these days

Mr Addison said: "The attack could have had catastrophic repercussions to life and limb of those reliant on the computer in the port of Houston.

"The data on the server contains information on navigation, tides, water depths and weather.  

OMG, that's just like the movie Hackers! I hope no oil tankers capsized.

(BTW- Angelina Jolie was totally smoking in in her odd sexy way in that one)
