NASA hacked via stray Raspberry Pi

Houston we have a problem. Someone left a Raspberry Pi plugged into a NASA network and hackers took advantage to steal some data from the Mars Rover. All Raspberry Pi’s come off the factory line with default username: pi and password: raspberry. The hack went undetected for more than 10 months, and many files were stolen. Assuming the devices had already been authenticated, this would have left an easy opening. Be careful with your devices people!
