The NASA data breach is a worrying one. An agency as prolific as NASA has been hit by a cyberattack. It makes us wonder – as we often do – is anyone really safe?<\/p>\n

Our Data Leak Lawyers are involved in over 20 different data breach actions. These range from the Equifax data breach<\/strong><\/a> of 2017, to the British Airways data breach<\/strong><\/a> of this year. These are huge hacks that affected large organisations. Each time a new one comes along, we\u2019re a mix of surprised and unsurprised that it has happened. On the one hand, these breaches are happening all the time, but on the other, the big-name breaches are worrying.<\/p>\n

Surely there should never be such a thing as a NASA data breach. Yet it has happened\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What happened in the NASA data breach?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The NASA data breach involved two NASA servers reportedly being compromised. The servers contained personally identifiable information about a large number of NASA employees.<\/p>\n

Although details as to what information has been breached hasn\u2019t been made clear, we do know that it includes identifiable information and Social Security Numbers.<\/p>\n

Remarkably, employees were told about the NASA data breach some two months after the event.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s being said about the NASA data breach?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Understandably, a lot has been said so far about the NASA data breach so far.<\/p>\n

From the perspective of Data Leak lawyers like us, it\u2019s worrying. To think that a world-leading space agency can be subject to a cyberattack is a huge concern. You\u2019d think these kinds of government agencies would be almost impenetrable.<\/p>\n

Although NASA has confirmed that the data breach hasn\u2019t impacted any missions, it\u2019s still concerning that it has happened.<\/p>\n

A memo to staff reportedly said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThose NASA Civil Service employees who were on-boarded, separated from the agency, and\/or transferred between Centers, from July 2006 to October 2018, may have been affected.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A spokesperson elaborating on the data breach said:<\/p>\n

\u201cNASA and its Federal cybersecurity partners are continuing to examine the servers to determine the scope of the potential data exfiltration and identify potentially affected individuals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
