They needed a scapegoat and they need to make it seem like he did malicious and
sophisticated things (not just changing wallpapers).
In reality, from what I can gather, he was accused of causing 'damage' (some
inflated figures they quoted), but I imgaine that the costs were associated
with improving security. He did them a favour; better some alien-curious guy
than Chinese espionage. He caught their flaws early and causes little or no
harm. They are very, very lucky
