Angry Brazilian Whacks NASA To Put a Stop To ... Er, the NSA
An anonymous reader writes "From the Register, "Multiple NASA websites were defaced last week by a Brazilian hacktivist who may have misread the sites' URLs, because he wasn't protesting about the US space agency giving joyrides to inhuman stowaways – he was protesting against NSA spying. 'BMPoC' hit kepler.arc.nasa.gov and 13 other sites with messages protesting against US spying on Brazil, as well as a possible US military intervention in Syria. It's hard to believe anyone would confuse the NSA spy agency with NASA, the space agency, except for satirical purposes or to mock script kiddies in some way, so we can only guess that the hackers behind the attack hit NASA because it's a US government agency whose systems are noted for being insecure.""
They're both agencies of the same stalker country.
One is provider for the technology the other one uses for spying purposes.
Both coordinate with CIA and Pentagon.
And it is quite common to take over any popular gov site in order to promote same gov's evil plans.
I find naive at least to presume this hacker just confused their names, or misread them.
Like NSA spying, the hacker just caught some "innocent bystanders" by accident. It wasn't illegal hacking, just an honest mistake. Just like the NSA collecting information on innocent people while claiming to target terrorists.
I do not fail; I succeed at finding out what does not work.
One has a $16 billion budget.
The other nearly $60 billion.
Guess which is which?
