A late-term change in the Clinton administration's approach to prosecuting cybercrime has made it much more difficult for NASA to track and prosecute hackers who attempt to penetrate
its computer networks, a NASA network-protection office official said Monday.

"NASA lost 90 percent of its ability to track and pursue [suspected computer] intruders because of changes in policy" by the Justice Department, said Stephen Nesbitt, director of
operations in the computer-crimes division of NASA's network and advanced technologies protection office.
