Confirmed: NASA Has Been Hacked
An audit document from the U.S. Office of the Inspector General was published by NASA this week which revealed that an unauthorized Raspberry Pi computer connected to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory servers was a targeted vector by hackers, who used it to move further into the NASA network. Supposedly, the hackers got as far as the Deep Space Network array of radio telescopes and other JPL systems.
