I blame NASA 100%.
No other fault can be assigned.
802.1x and Cisco’s ISE (Network Access Control) have been available for over 4 years now.
802.1x NAC tech is over 10 years old.
And it would prevent the connection of any unknown device to the network.
Only abject dereliction of duty caused it not to be. And the IT Director/VP/CIO of JPL should be charged and imprisoned for Criminal Negligence if he spent a single red cent on anything BUT NAC.
I have my home network locked down by MAC address and the WiFi hidden and strong password protected.
You’re right. This is criminal negligence and charges should be brought.
