NASA finds a virus on a computer in International Space Station!
US space agency NASA has confirmed that one of the laptops on the international space station was found infected with a computer virus.
NASA did not reveal much but did say that it was not the first time that such an incident has taken place.
The space agency added that it was not a security risk as the infected laptop was only being used for non critical purposes.
A NASA spokesperson said that they are investigating on how the virus got on board that machine. They are also aiming to prevent a similar happening in the future.
Reports claim that the virus was actually a worm named W32.Gammima.AG and it could have landed on the laptop through a USB pen drive.
