A British court cleared a teenager today of hacking into the computer of the port of Houston, Texas, after the youth testified that his computer had been taken over by someone else to mount the attack. Caffrey had insisted that, although the infiltration was triggered from his computer, he was not behind it. He testified as an expert in his own defense, arguing that a hacker could have taken over his machine to mount the attack. Outside the courtroom, the lanky teenager told TV reporters that he now hopes to get a job as a computer security consultant or programmer.
