Chinese Hackers Breached The NASA Jet Propulsion Lab 

Chinese hackers gained illegal access NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). According to the investigation report of the Inspector General- hackers from China have breached the NASA JPL earlier in November and stolen sensitive data. Not only data stealing they have breached the security system of JPL which allowed them to delete sensitive files, add user accounts to mission-critical systems, upload malware and many more. That report revealed scant details of an ongoing investigation into the incident against the Pasadena, Calif., lab, noting only that cyberattacks against the JPL involved Chinese-based Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Paul K. Martin, NASA's inspector general, put his conclusions bluntly."The attackers had full functional control over these networks," he wrote.

If you dig the history you will find that previously NASA was hit many times by the hackers from different part of the world. Such as Spamers targeted NASA, TeaMp0isoN hacked NASA official forum, Chinese Hackers hit NASA satellites, Indian hacker minhal stole secrete  information from NASA and so on.
