A report just released shows that NASA, the American Space agency, has been selling off computers to the public, without wiping them first, so they still contain all their data about Nasa's space shuttle programme !
The report found that computers from The Kennedy Space Centre in Florida had sold off computers which still contained sensitive information, and was also storing a load of hard drives in a dumpster, publicly accessible, before selling them on.
The inspectors also found several pallets of computers being prepared for sale, which still contained NASA IP addresses, which could have let anyone hack into the NASA internal network.
And they say Americans don't get irony ……..
