Re: Pranksters trigger alien attack

I'm picturing a future headline: "Pranksters hijack insecure NASA space probe, flash insulting messages to alien race investigating the probe, aliens now on the way to destroy Earth"

Try something bigger: Europol and the FBI has shut down a malware C&C that was found to be hosted in the Cassini space probe. After 185 years, the space probe has been seized for forensic analysis.
