Woman faces charges after bank hacking claims against her NASA astronaut wife
2020-04-10
[NYPOST] The woman who accused her estranged NASA astronaut wife of hacking her bank account from space has been charged with making false statements to federal authorities, officials said this week.

Summer Worden, 44, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Houston in what was the latest twist in her bizarre saga with decorated NASA astronaut Anne McClain, according to the US Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Texas.

Worden, a former Air Force intelligence officer, and her astronaut wife have been locked since 2018 in a divorce that has involved a nasty custody battle.

Last year, Worden filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission claiming that McClain illegally accessed her bank account during a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station, in possibly the first crime committed from space, prosecutors said.

She then lodged the same allegation against McClain in a July 2019 interview with NASA’s Office of the Inspector General, officials said.

Worden claimed she opened a new account in September 2018, then reset her login information in order to prevent McClain from accessing her accounts, but the new indictment alleges she opened the account in April 2018 and didn’t change the credentials until January 2019.
