Aspergers is part of the Autistic spectrum....and Guinness is right when he says it comes in many varieties........those who have Aspergers may not be able to tell right from wrong...they do not interact well socially and prefer lone pursuits.
They are very single minded in their pursuits........computers must have been his 'thing'.....I wouldn't know how to hack into anything...but he must have learned this.

It would have been more of a problem if he had offered to sell whatever he found out, or if he had tried to corrupt the data on the US systems....but he did not(to my knowledge) do this.
The US should be thankful that their deficiencies had been spotted, and could be corrected.
