 "NASA Servers Prone to Attacks"){kind=logo}
Yesterday, NASA’s inspector general Paul Martin announced that NASA’s servers that were responsible for controlling spacecrafts were at risk from attacks. These vulnerabilities were found after an audit was done on the network. Six servers in all were found to be prone to attacks over the internet. Hackers could take remote control over the servers and disable them. The general voiced his concern about the issues, which could result in serious problems in the operations.

Not as secure as you might expect
In January 2009, hackers gained access to the JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) computer and access close to 22 GB of data from it.

Paul Martin emphasized the need to address these issues as soon as possible and also start a network-wide review for similar security risks.
