A British computer hacker has been charged by American authorities for breaching computer systems in an attempt to access private data.
Lauri Love, 28, was arrested on Friday in south east England under the Computer Misuse Act and has been released on bail until next February.
US authorities claim he placed "back doors" in hacked networks to steal data, the BBC reports.
The arrest was the culmination of a joint investigation by the UK's National Crime Agency and the FBI.
According to US authorities, the arrested man hacked into systems of the US Army, Nasa and the Environmental Protection Agency, among others.
He has been charged in the US with accessing a government computer without permission.
US authorities, including the army, allege that information accessed included budgets, the disposal of military facilities, and personal information on thousands of people, including military personnel.
Mr Love, from Stradishall, Suffolk, is accused of working with at least three others, who are not named.
