No matter the color of their hat, hackers are a dangerous force to reckon with. 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.
