Brazil hackers mistake NASA for NSA in spying payback

[Ohio Joe]

Hackers have hit back in retaliation for US cyber-spying on Brazil but mistook the US space agency NASA for the National Security Agency (NSA), a news website reported here Tuesday.

"Some activists decided to protest this US practice but it seems that they picked the wrong target," a specialized blog of the Brazilian news portal Uol said.

"They hacked NASA's web page and left the message: Stop spying on us," it said.

The hackers' message also called on the United States not to attack Syria.

2. Communication satellites crashing down on our heads.

The Mars Curiosity rover deader than a Tyson chicken. And New Horizons stopped dead in space on its way to Pluto.

Thanks, Brazil.
