Earlier this year, Federal News Radio reported that network security analysis firm SecurityScorecard had detected thousands of signals emanating from malware – including some of the world’s nastiest computer viruses – that had apparently infected NASA systems. NASA responded to the station, saying its “continuous monitoring tools and scans, a set of monitoring and scans performed by Department of Homeland Security, and various independent third-party audits of NASA’s computing environment do not support this claim of a broad malware infection in NASA’s IT infrastructure.”
