Space station laptops get infected

NASA are busily downplaying news that laptops aboard the International Space Station were infected with a worm which steals user details for online games.

It's not clear how the infection occurred but the computers concerned were described as non-critical. You would kind of hope that the mission-critical kit was running something a little more secure.

Wired has the story.
