A trove of leaked email and password login credentials belonging to employees at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The leaked email and password data was posted on a Pastebin by a user called ‘PLASTYNE (Anarchy Ghost)' who appears to be associated with a hacktivist group known as ‘Brazil All Hack Team.'

The leaked login credentials were viewed by SCMagazine.com after the leak was discovered by Red Cell Infosec CEO Dominique Davis. The paste site data included detailed information about NASA's multiple points of ingress, including shared network resources, internet-facing machines containing multiple unpatched operating system vulnerabilities, an unpassworded printer that an attacker could use to pivot into the network and cause further damage, and other instruction about how to log in to NASA's networks.

Good thing it was NASA and not NSA, for a second i thought that's what i was seeing lol
There is no excuse for this, NASA has lost a good bit of funding, but if they are to remain operational
they should be afforded the same security as the other branches, I doubt that even their Aerospace data
is up to date with all the cuts and closures, so the hackers leave "mostly" empty handed and in a fit dump this
to make them look bad.
