if NASA has sensitive info they should have just yanked the HDD's and set them under the launch pad in one of the exhaust vents for the last shuttle mission. but then again this info is probably about as old as the hundreds of 486 processors used in every shuttle dating back to columbia. talk about time for an upgrade!

What could be so sensitive from a Shuttle's computer? They are responsible to carry international spacemen to international space station and do repairs...

I'm sure the federal government will keep our national healthcare medical records safe and secure, and that none if it will wind up being used for identity theft and fraud... right....

Yeah, I heard on the TV news about this. The anchor was asking what would happen if the info fell into the wrong hands. Seems to me it was already in the wrong hands.

well when you consider that that arsenic based life form was a lie and that they are a government agency should we really be surprised that they cant keep track of their own crap?

American needs to get it's act together and tighten access to their sensitive technology and information. Billions of dollars in research only to have someones "accident" put it on the market. America has become a joke at how it is protecting their crucial data from outsiders and doesn't care because they think they can keep throwing trillions of new dollars more at new research and breakthroughs forever.
