Iranian hackers hacked NASA SSL certificate belonging to NASA and accessed information on thousands of NASA researchers. Space agency representative revealed that they’re currently investigating the incident. The Cyber Warriors Team (CWT) said in its post that it had written an HTTPS protocol scanner to find weaknesses. The group said the certificate was compromised by exploiting an existing vulnerability within the portal’s login system, but they didn’t outline the entire attack. The attackers had full functional control over these networks, Paul K. Martin wrote.
