The Unknowns

In a strange form of 21st century vigilantism, a group of hackers called "the Unknowns" said they have hacked into NASA and Air Force computers, according to Government Computer News. But the group said it did this to help those agencies patch up security holes. In a blog post on Pastebin, the group said that unlike hacker group Anonymous, it is not against the U.S. government. The Unknowns posted the names and email addresses of government employees but then sent emails to those same employees telling them how they could protect themselves in the future. The Unknowns also hacked into Harvard University's website and the defense ministries of several countries in Europe and the Middle East.
