Two of the 10 organizations listed in a recent hack attack have confirmed the alleged security breaches. Furthermore, the “new” hacker group The Unknowns behind the attack says many of the systems have now been patched, which was supposedly their goal.

NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have confirmed they were recently hacked. The hacking group The Unknowns says most of the 10 companies it attacked have patched their systems.

In addition to revealing how to access the computer systems of the organizations in question, The Unknowns also posted screenshots showing they gained accessed to each and every one.
