Shhh its a SECRET
Italy. In addition to Italian participation in the European Space Agency's efforts, the Italian Space Agency (ASI) independently is providing three
Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules. They will be used on the Space Shuttle to carry pressurized cargo and payloads to the ISS. The structural design of
the Modules forms the basis for the design of the European Space Agency's Columbus Orbital Facility. The agency also will supply Nodes 2 and 3 to
NASA.

NASA OIG: Fourteen Hackers Arrested in Italy
On July 31, 2002, federal police officers with the Guardia di Finanza, Milan, Italy, served search warrants and arrested 14 members of the
"Reservoir Dogs" hacking crew. The arrests were the result of a 10- month joint investigation that started with the compromise of a US Army computer
at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and two computer systems at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California.
Special Agents with the US Army Criminal Investigation Command, Computer Crime Investigative Unit (CCIU) received the initial complaint in October
2001. The CCIU traced the intrusion through several intermediary computers to its source in Italy. Through recovery and examination of the compromised
computers, CCIU was able to determine that the computers had been hacked by a member of the "Reservoir Dogs" hacking crew. CCIU also found evidence
of several more compromised computers including one computer at JPL. This information was passed through the United States Secret Service Liaison
Officer in Milan to the Italian authorities.
