They can target • bank information, PIN numbers, passwords, but they also can stroke mayhem by hacking into the • most secure places like NASA and FBI, sometimes to find traces of ET and sometimes to leak • exotic pictures of celebrities on the internet. Here are the top 10 most dangerous hackers in the • world • Number 10. Jonathan James • Between June and October of 1999, one of the most incredible episodes in the history of • computer crimes was carried out. And the most fascinating part of all of it was that a 15-year-old • teen was behind all of them. Jonathan James, who operated under the pseudonym of ‘C0mrade’, • is considered one of the greatest hackers in history, thanks to his great ability to access private • systems for entertainment. He was the first juvenile to be convicted and jailed for hacking in the • United States. Starting at 15, he hacked into Bell South, the Miami-Dade school system, NASA, • and the Department of Defense, and stole software said to have been worth $1.7 million from the • government. That caused the agency to shut down their systems for 21 days, and cost them $ • 41,000 in repairs and losses. That was nothing compared to what was actually in the software. It • had the source code that controlled critical elements of survival within the International Space • Station. It was such a big deal that had he sold it to any enemy country, he could have made • millions of dollars. He was sentenced to six months of house arrest and probation until he turned • 18. In 2007, the Secret Service investigated James of a crime he didn’t commit. Out of fear of • being prosecuted, James committed suicide himself in his shower in May 2008. • Number 9.) Matthew Bevan and Richard Pryce • This British hacking duo took the U.S. government for a ride when they attacked the Pentagon #39;s • network for several weeks in 1994. It all started when Richard Pryce became friends with • Mathew Bevan and instantly started idolizing him. Now, normally a mentor is supposed to take • you under their care and show you the meaning of the world but Bevan had darker plans for • Pryce. Much darker. They copied battlefield simulations from Griffiss Air Force Base in New • York, intercepted messages from U.S. agents in North Korea, and got access to a Korean nuclear • facility. Pryce was a 16-year-old then, and Bevan was 21. The hacking attacks were especially • troublesome for the U.S. government because they couldn #39;t tell if the duo was using their system • to hack into a South or North Korea—if it were North Korea, the attacks could #39;ve been seen as • an act of war. Luckily, South Korea was the hackers #39; target, and after an international • investigation, they were arrested in the following year. They are also famous for their attacks on • NATO and NASA. • Number 8. Edward Majerczyk • If you have been on the internet for some time, you probably remember the huge scandal • “celebrate”. For the curious minds hearing that term for the first time, yes it was named after the • watergate scandal. Edward Majerczyk had orchestrated the whole thing and was behind the • release of nude pictures of many celebrities including the hunger games star, Jennifer Lawrance. • He engaged in a phishing scheme from November 2013 to August 2014 to obtain usernames and • passwords for his victims. He sent emails to them that appeared to be from security accounts of • Internet service providers that directed them to a website that would collect their information. • After they responded by entering their usernames and passwords at that site, he illegally gained • access to their iCloud and Gmail accounts. It was for his personal use but the pictures were • released to the world and they still remain on the internet. As for Edward Majerczyk, he was • sentenced to 9 months in prison after he pled guilty. • Number 7. Gary McKinnon • The hunt for ET led this mastermind, also known as ‘solo’, to commit one of the largest cyber- • attacks on a military system in history. Gary McKinnon hacked nearly 100 American military • and NASA servers from February 2001 to March 2002. What #39;s even crazier is he did it all from • his girlfriend’s aunt’s house in London. He managed to delete sensitive data, software, and files, • and the U.S. government spent over $700,000 to recover from the damage. He taunted the • military while he was at it, posting this message to their website: “Your security system is crap. I • am Solo.
