NASA Cyber Attack..

In 1999, a hacker named Jonathan James, also known as "c0mrade," successfully infiltrated NASA's computer systems. James was only 15 years old at the time.

The attack allowed James to gain unauthorized access to various NASA computers, including those containing software related to the International Space Station (ISS). He managed to download source code for the International Space Station's operating system, which was valued at around $1.7 million.

The intrusion led to concerns about the security of sensitive information related to space missions. James claimed that his motivation was curiosity and a desire to explore the security vulnerabilities of NASA's systems. However, the incident raised questions about the overall cybersecurity of critical infrastructure and government organizations.

Jonathan James was later arrested in 2000, and he faced legal consequences for his actions. The incident underscored the importance of cybersecurity and prompted organizations to enhance their efforts to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
