Mystery Group Hacks US military, Harvard, NASA, More

The Unknowns says it has hacked ESA, NASA, US military, US Air Force, Thai Royal Navy, Harvard, Renault, French ministry of Defense, Bahrain Ministry of Defense, and Jordanian Yellow Pages.

A hacker group calling itself “The Unknowns” claims to have hacked 10 organizations around the world, gaining administrator access for all and leaking data for some. Most are related to the U.S. government or another international legislative body, while the rest just seemed like random targets.

The Unknowns yesterday set up the Twitter account “1_The_Unknown_1” and released their results on Pastebin. Apparently, the group’s slogan is “We are The Unknowns; Our Knowledge Talks and Wisdom Listens…”

The Unknowns listed 10 victim websites for which it publicly posted administrator accounts and passwords: 

NASA - Glenn Research Center
U.S. military
U.S. Air Force
European Space Agency
Thai Royal Navy
Harvard University
Renault
French ministry of Defense
Bahrain Ministry of Defense
Jordanian Yellow Pages

Good news though.

NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have confirmed they were recently hacked. The hacking group The Unknowns says most of the 10 companies it attacked have patched their systems.

Isn't this like shutting the barn door after the (Trojan)horse ran away.                   ...Butch
