Confirmed: Nasa Has Been Hacked

Thornton-Trump’s comments resonate with the conclusion of the audit report which states: “the inability to protect against cyberattacks in general and advanced persistent threats in particular places the Agency’s status as a global leader in space exploration and aeronautics research at risk…”

I have contacted NASA for a comment and will update the story should one be forthcoming. Update June 20 12:05 ET

In response to my request for a comment on this story, Karen Northon from NASA headquarters referred me to the agency’s response in the audit report. In a letter dated June 13 to the assistant inspector general for audits, Renee P. Wynn, NASA chief information officer, and Marcus Watkins, director of the NASA management office, address ten recommendations made in the audit report.
