Brazilian Hackers, Targeting NSA, Hit NASA Instead
So close. So close.
Hackers have hit back in retaliation for US cyber-spying on Brazil but mistook the US space agency NASA for the National Security Agency (NSA), a news website reported here Tuesday.
"Some activists decided to protest this US practice but it seems that they picked the wrong target," a specialized blog of the Brazilian news portal Uol said.
"They hacked NASA's web page and left the message: Stop spying on us," it said.

This might be a good time for the Culinary Institute of America to review their website security. Just sayin'.
