NASA could stand to tighten up the security of its data, according to a report filed with the US House of Representatives Wednesday. Virtually none of the agency's portable devices are encrypted, and 48 of them were lost or stolen between April 2009 and April 2011. One of those was an unencrypted notebook containing algorithms to command and control the International Space Station.

edit:

it seems like their track record is terrible
" Out of 47 attempts last year, hackers managed to penetrate NASA***8217;s computer network 13 times."
