Rafael Núñez (also known as RaFa) is a computer hacker who used to be a member of the World of Hell and a retired model ^[1] from Venezuela.

He was arrested by FBI on April 5, 2005 following his arrival at Miami International Airport airport for breaking into the US Air Force computer system on June 2001. He defaced the system (exploiting a weakness of the Microsoft IIS 5.0 webserver) with a web page containing the text "Kiss my rear one because yours is mine!" with a link to another page featuring the World of Hell. Núñez also faced allegations of hacking into NASA computers in August 2001 and copying designs for C.O.B.R.A., a next generation space launch vehicle. However, the NASA allegations were dropped.^[2]

RaFa also figured in the book "The Hacker Diaries" from Dan Verton. Currently Nuñez is working as a computer security consultant and partner for InteliCorp in Caracas, Venezuela and deputy director for cpiu.us (Counter Pedophilia Investigative Unit) an organization dedicated to track down Internet pedophiles in alliance with Interpol and CICPC (Venezuelan Scientific Police) since 2000.^[3].
