The Unknowns is a self-proclaimed ethical hacking group that came to attention in May 2012 after exploiting weaknesses in the security of NASA, CIA, White House, the European Space Agency, Harvard University, Renault, the United States Military Joint Pathology Center, the Royal Thai Navy, and several ministries of defense.
"[2] The group claims to be ethical in their hacking activities, but nonetheless lifted internal documents from their victims, posting them online.
The team had 6 not 7 core members:[4] Zyklon B, who lives in France, was arrested by the French Intelligence Service on June 24, 2012.

After a period of hacking high-profile websites, The Unknown disbanded the group in 2012 but reunited it in the early 2015.
