Audit finds NASA’s internal computer network is full of holes and is extremely vulnerable to an external cyberattack. Several of the vulnerabilities have been known for months, yet remained unpatched. NASA’s servers have been broken into many times in the past, including two serious breaches in 2009. Audit recommends NASA “expedite implementation of our May 2010 recommendation to establish an IT security oversight program for NASA’s Agency-wide mission network” NASA is “vulnerable to computer incidents that could have a severe to catastrophic effect on Agency assets, operations, and personnel,” report says.
