NASA’s Twitter account for its Kepler spacecraft was hacked Wednesday.
{mosads}An unidentified hacker used the @NASAKepler account to tweet a suggestive photograph and dubious link under the heading “Waiting for ya.” It is unclear what methods the hacker used to take over the account.
By the afternoon, NASA had regained control of the account.
Our account was temporarily compromised. We’re back in business, ready to tell you about new planet discoveries.
