Reach of Computer Viruses is now extended to the universe. NASA, in a statement, confirmed that a computer virus sneaked aboard the International Space Station (ISS) only to be tossed into quarantine on July 25 by security software.

The virus was of “worm” type and settled on one of the laptop used by astronauts.

The malicious code is reported to be a software that logs keystrokes in order to steal passwords or other sensitive data by sending the information to hackers via the Internet.

NASA, however, informed that the infected computers are not linked to any of the space station’s control systems or the Internet, and that it had no adverse effect on space station operations.
