The American organization National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) admitted today that it was breached by hackers.
In a internal note που στάλθηκε σε όλους τους υπαλλήλους, ο οργανισμός δήλωσε ότι ένας άγνωστος εισβολέας απέκτησε πρόσβαση σε έναν από τους διακομιστές, κατεβάζοντας τα προσωπικά data of current and former employees. Social Security numbers were also leaked, according to NASA.
The agency said it discovered the hack on October 23, almost two months ago. It is not clear why they waited nearly two months before notifying their officials, but it is common for US authorities to ask hacked agencies to delay notifying affected victims while investigating an incident.
NASA confirmed it is working with the feds "to examine the servers and determine the scope of the potential leak." data and identify potentially affected individuals.”
The organization is still not aware of the extent of the violation and the number of workers affected. In her memo today, NASA said she advised all her employees to watch out for a possible fraud.
"After identifying (the victims), NASA will provide specific information to those employees, older and present."
The agency said the hack investigation would "take time" and that it did not believe any of its missions would be compromised by the hack.
