Yeah. I saw his interview. He didn't really hack them either. He was using windows remote desktop and was entering nasa ip addresses with default windows passwords. Their security was shit and that's how he logged into a machine with off world manifests etc. He said an image was loading slowly when he saw the mouse pointer move before they disconnected.
I don't classify that a hack when no attempt was made beyond basic setup.
That is literally hacking.
