NASA Vulnerable To Crippling Cyber Attacks

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday March 29, 2011 @08:11AM from the aren't-we-all dept.

RedEaredSlider writes "The computer network NASA relies upon to carry out its billion dollar missions is just like your Mac or PC at home; vulnerable to cyber attacks. NASA's servers contain vulnerabilities that could enable a cyberattack to cripple the entire agency, according to a recent audit report from The Office of the Inspector General. The report was an unflattering look at NASA's internal computer security operations, as the Inspector General recommended the agency expedite the implementation of a new agency-wide program to oversee the network security problem."

  Since US has like half of its population in jails, wouldn't it be better if they were put to work too? Pay for their stay instead of everyone else paying for it. It's their fault they are in jail to begin with.
