WASHINGTON — Senior Army officials are calling the appointment of Lt. Col. Anne McClain, astronaut and cyber capabilities expert, as Director of the Cyber Crime Prevention Program a step toward ensuring out-of-this-world protections against online criminals.
McClain is alleged to have accessed and manipulated her estranged spouse’s bank account from the International Space Station (ISS) during a child custody dispute. An investigation is ongoing.
With McClain grounded during the investigation, Army leaders pounced on her availability.
