According to the US Military he shut down 2000 US Army computers for 24 hours and earlier shut down 300 US Navy computers stopping the whole Navy supply chain. He also affected the NASA computers. He told them their security was rubbish(which it obviously was) and promised to continue disruption at the highest level. Cost to sort it-estimated at $700,000.

In both cases it should be for a court and medical experts to decide.
He seemed very clear and lucid when he was threatening them- no mention of looking for UFOs then, just calling the USA terrorists and promising to continue wrecking their systems.

Whatever his mental condition he's a dangerous man to be let loose with a computer-he might try it with Russia next time with more dramatic results!
