NASA Hacked

by Steve Gibson Jul 04, 2000 10:57am CST tags: Wack News, NASA
Being as it is the 4th of July we should celebrate what is great about America or something right? Well it has just been released that a hacker back in 1997 actually disrupted a NASA mission while it was in progress interrupting NASA's ability to monitor the life signs of the astronauts.

We had an activity at NASA center where a hacker was overloading our system...to such an extent that it interfered with communications between the NASA center, some medical communications and the astronaut aboard the shuttle

Yeah, this story is actually 2 days old but so is the glass of milk on my desk, and I'm still lookin at it.
