European Space Agency Hit Again as Cybercriminals Claim 200 Gb Data Up for Sale

As cybercriminals put 200 GB of European Space Agency data up for sale, commenters are skewering the agency's slow response, with some sarcastically lamenting that employees were enjoying their New Year's holiday break. The debate centers around whether the agency should have had staff on hand to respond immediately, with some arguing it's a noncritical issue since the data was already stolen. Others chime in that holiday closures are standard practice, pointing out that even NASA and US National Labs shut down during the holidays. The snarky remarks belie a deeper discussion about balancing security with the human needs of agency staff.
