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'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'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've been seen as an act of war. Luckily, South Korea was the hackers' 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'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.
