The Most Top 6 Black Hat Hackers In The World
Every One know there are two types of hackers. First one are good hacker
also knows as "White Hat Hackers" and another one which know as "Black
hat Hackers". In this article we are going to discuss about top most 6
Black Hat Hackers in the world and their hacks which make them famous
all over the world.
George Hotz
Young and talented and what is the most important bored teenager, George Hotz wanted to have fun one
summer
night and as a result he hacked the Sony’s company iPhones. It happened
in June of 2007, by that time George was 17. It was a bit of a
challenge, because how to hack the device with assistant things?
The secret
is to figure out how “to speak to the device”. He also mentioned that
what he did was completely legal. It seems people can be dangerous in
certain way when they are bored. Who knows what may happen if crazy
smart geek will find the way of his ideas.
Kevin Mitnick
Kevin Mitnick is well-known as the most-wanted computer criminal in the United States. He was in high school
when he started hacking. For several years he hacked dozens of
companies. What's interesting, for those “services” he was finally arrested
in 1995 at his apartment for hacking. Kevin also has served 5 years in
prison, nevertheless despite of his experience he runs his own security firm
named Mitnick Security Consulting. The other side of the coin is,
however Mitnick published a book that calls “Ghost in Wires”, which is
about his ups-and-downs, victories and crushes. He shared that every
hack was like a climbing to mountain and he reached the Everest. This is
one more proof how talent has pined, because of a boredom.
Adrina Lamo
Adrian was called as the most effective and controversial hacker of the
21st century. That is very flattering status. He was famous for breaking
into several high-profile computer networks.
Lamo might use his gift to help people to consult, what is actually he
did, but as exception and compromise. His baby steps in hacking, Adrian
Lamo made pretty early and became known for the first time
for operating the AOL watchdog site. As many others, he was arrested in 2003
and had to correspond for each and every computer crime. Thus, even if
Lamo now works as a threat analyst and public speaker, his glory will always follow him, because our past if the part of our “present” and a part of who we are.
Gary McKinnon
This “black hat” McKinnon hacked into 97 United States military
and NASA computers. He could be the biggest threat for government.
Glasgow-born McKinnon wanted the truth to come out and show itself. In
March 2002 Gary was arrested by police. “Black hat”
used his hacking skills to “research” his beliefs and evidence of UFOs
inexhaustible source of power, into the US government’s computers. He
didn’t do that because of boredom, but because of obsession and thirst
to hidden knowledge. Probably this computer crime is serious, but
forgivable. Man wasn’t going to hack computer system because he was bored or to prove something, we were
looking for the truth no more than.
Jonathan James
Story of Jonathan James is sad, nevertheless his life can be compared
to comet – short, but bright. In 1999 teenager at the age of 15 years
old hacked into Bellsouth and Miami-Dade school network.
Jonathan James damaged NASA Systems, it costed $41,000 to fix the
systems. It goes without saying that he made serious damage. To stole
software from NASA that worth $1.7 Million is one the biggest computer
crimes. He wasn’t after information or justice, he was after money… As
they say, never speak ill of the dead. Jonathan James was sentenced 6
months house arrest and banned from using computer, however that didn’t
prevent him to commit suicide.
Kevin Poulsen
This talented “cyber-terrorists” could have a great career and almost blow
his chance. It seems that this hacker likes contracts and his life
reflects it pretty well. He hacked into the US Department of Defense's
ARPANET. However later he worked as a consultant testing Pentagon
computer security. Late on Kevin hacked FBI, after that hacked phone lines to radio station
of Los Angeles… Poulsen’s life reminded American switchbacks… Certainly
he was wanted by FRI and finally they caught him. Despite of such
interesting past, Kevin is a law-abiding citizen and has several awards
of International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences.
