With all these recent loooooong discussions about 'security', 'hacking', 
'pen-tests', 'clueless managament', etc. this is interesting:

Ok, that is old news to you especially these security gurus, hackers stole from 
NASA some 500 MB data using a Rasberry PI since April 2018.

Scary part - it was undetected for nearly a year...

More scary part - system administrator failed to update the database that 
determines which devices have access to the network. As a result, new devices 
could be added without proper vetting.
