The group's missive claims that its list of "victims" also includes the Thai Royal Navy, Harvard, Renault Company, the French Ministry of Defense and the Jordanian Yellow Pages. The Unknowns aren't saying their intrusions occurred because they didn't like the organizations they targeted for some reason -- which is the usual Anonymous explanation. Rather, their motivation seems more to show off their wiles and "wisdom," according to their own explanation.

"Victims, we have released some of your documents and data, we probably harmed you a bit but that's not really our goal because if it was then all of your websites would be completely defaced but we know that within a week or two, the vulnerabilities we found will be patched and that's what we're actually looking for," The Unknowns said in their posting. They intimated they're going after other websites, too.

The Unknowns left an email urging the "victims" to contact them, saying they're ready to provide them with "information on how we penetrated your databases and we're ready to do this at any time so just contact us."
