It is reported by The New York Times.
According to the publication, the astronaut used a NASA computer to access the bank accounts of his ex-wife Summer Warden.
Finding an unauthorized entry into the system, Worden contacted the bank in order to find out from which computers attempts to access her bank account were made. As a result, she found out that one of the computers was registered with NASA, after which the girl filed a complaint with the office of the inspector general of the department, accusing McClain of identity theft and illegal access to her bank accounts.
The astronaut admitted her deed, indicating that she gained access to a bank account from outer space from a desire to make sure that the family with money is in order, because, despite the divorce, Warden and McClain raise a child together.
It is noted that at present the investigation of the incident is ongoing.
Earlier it was reported that the Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano will be the first space DJ, speaking from orbit in front of electronic music lovers.
