NASA’s computers were shut down for about 21 days by a young hacker in 1999.

The hacker was able to gain access to 13 computers at the Marshall Space Flight Center and downloaded $1.7 million worth of NASA proprietary software.

He was able to access thousands of messages, usernames, passwords, and source code for the International Space Station.

The attack cost NASA a total of $41,000 to get systems back on track.
