World’s top hackers people are afraid of!

It’s much easier to crack into someone’s zone in the world of the internet, where we get global access. We don’t just say social media on an individual basis. A bare toy in the hands of a few tech geniuses is the world-wide network that has become the center of storing and restoring records, considered the safest vault. As they are well known, hackers, Black Hat Hackers, villains, crackers, computer criminals, cyber pirates throw a malicious device or virus at a machine to obtain access to the desired data. Piqued with curiosity, they can even hack into the scheme.

Mentioned below is the list of World’s Top 5 hackers people are afraid of:

1. Gary McKinnon

Gary McKinnon must’ve been a curious, restless kid, to obtain knowledge on UFOs, he thought it easier to get a direct entry into NASA’s networks. Via downloading viruses and removing a few files, he breached 97 US military and NASA computers. Much of the attempt to appease his appetite, however, alas, the cat was destroyed by curiosity. McKinnon was soon found guilty of hacking the military and NASA websites from his girlfriend’s aunt’s house in London. Although it was not enough to access and delete the files from these websites, McKinnon thought of humiliating the security forces by putting out a note on the website saying, “Your security is crap.”

2. LulzSec

A high profile Black Hat hacker collective, LulzSec or Lulz Security, acquired hacking credentials for Sony, News International, CIA, FBI, Scotland Yard, and other notable accounts. The group was so infamous that when it broke into the News Companies account, they released a misleading story that Rupert Murdoch had died. Although the group claims to have withdrawn from their vile duties, the group’s slogan is “Laughing at your security since 2011!” remains alive.

3. Adrian Lamo

As he discovered the promise of his talents, Adrian Lamo wanted to switch careers. When he hacked into Yahoo!, it became news! The New York Times, Microsoft, Google, and The. While this resulted in his detention, it later helped him win an American Hazard Analyst’s batch. A guy who would break into top-notch accounts seated in spacious, comforting cafeterias, museums, internet cafes, quickly handed Bradley Manning, the perpetrator of Wikileaks, over to the FBI.

4. Mathew Bevan and Richard Pryce

Targeting over-sensitive nerves, what Mathew Bevan and his supposed associate Richard Pryce did, may have created a lot of complications between the United States and North Korea. The pair hacked the US military servers and used them as a way of infiltrating international networks. The primary contents of the Institute of Korean Atomic Science were poured into the USAF scheme. The material was, however, primarily applicable to South Korea and thus less unpredictable. But this might, yet, have contributed to a massive foreign crisis.

5. Jonathan James

Jonathan James, or best known as c0mrade, the first teenager to be jailed for a cyber offense at the age of 16, broke into the US Department’s Defense Threat Reduction Division. Also, he mounted a sniffer that analyzed the messages passed on by employees of the DTRA. In the meantime, he kept a watch on the messages being sent around. He gathered the employees’ passwords and usernames and other such crucial information and stole necessary software.
