Could this be the cyberworld’s equivalent of one small step for a hacker, one giant leap for hackerkind? A cybersecurity firm claims to have spotted an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) message seeking help to hack into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Mars Science Laboratory Mission, Examiner.com reported.
“(A)ssuming that this is in fact an Anonymous member, and not a law enforcement spoof, the very fact that they are even thinking of this sort of hack is somewhat frightening,” it said.
Examiner.com quoted New York-based Flashpoint Partners as saying it spotted the message by user “MarsCuriosity” on the AnonOps IRC channel on Thursday.
