One Small Step for Hackers...

Amazing. NASA can put a man on the moon, but it can't safeguard its system from hackers. The latest attack came by way of Brazil and hit the space administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at CalTech. So spooked were the space wizards that they have emargoed all queries emanating from the South American nation until the necessary security precautions are put in place. Jeez, shutting down our online auctions, screwing up our jets--what will we do when the really dangerous hackers get here? Get out the slide rules, Liza, we're going native!
