The British man accused of hacking 97 military and NASA webpages, which is considered to be world’s biggest military hack of all time, has lost the appeal in front of the House of Lords. After he was convicted for the violation of top-secret online properties, Gary McKinnon, a 42-year-old unemployed network administrator, tried to stop his extradition to the United States. Today, the highest British court rejected his plea, so soon he will have to face an American High Court. In order to prevent that from happening, McKinnon said that he already pleaded to the European Court of Human Rights.

Although the man claims that he just wanted to get some information on UFOs from a more reliable source, the U.S. Government accused him of not only entering some prohibited areas, but also of making changes and causing the malfunctioning of several computers.
