TeaMp0isoN is a group of computer hackers.

Establishment

According to Don from ZHC ( ZCompany Hacking Unit ) they started in 2008. In 2010 ZHC recruited TriCk, the 16-year-old hacker, who founded his own group TeaMp0isoN.[1]

Facebook

In January 2011 strange unauthorized status updates were posted on Mark Zuckerberg and French President Nicolas Sarkozy's accounts in social-networking site Facebook. On January 25, a spokesperson for Facebook acknowledged the bug in their system and said it has been fixed. Later that week The Daily Beast reported that TeaMp0isoN's 16-year old hacker TriCk along with members of a hacking team known as "ZHC" said they had exploited a bug in the web site on previous New Year's Eve, allowing them to post unauthorized status updates and to block temporary newsfeeds to a list of 130 pages. A spokeswoman for one of the targeted groups, the English Defense League, confirmed that they were targeted and their pages critical of Islam were indeed hacked. Members of Facebook's security team said after being contacted on the matter by The Daily Beast with the list of pages that they had found no evidence of malicious activity according to their logs.[1]

Tony Blair address book leak

The group published in Pastebin what appeared to be the address book and other private data of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in June 2011. According to TeaMp0isoN the data was obtained originally "via a private exploit" in December 2010. According to Blair's spokesman the data was not obtained from Blair directly but from the personal email account of his former staff.[2]

LulzSec and Anonymous

The group is a rival of LulzSec and being motivated by what they perceive as LulzSec's low hacking abilities bringing them media attention they do not deserve. Another member of the group, Hex00010, used a derogatory term script kiddies to describe LulzSecs activists: "We're here to show the world that they're nothing but a bunch of script kiddies [y]ou think, 'I'm a bad-ass hacker because I can knock someone offline for a few minutes.' That's bullshit. Come on."[3]

TeaMp0isoN released the alleged personal details of various LulzSec members alongside information on the AnonOps IRC server, including IP addresses, and hashed passwords. It has been debated that this is one of the factors that led to LulzSec disbanding, and also led to various arrests made in relation to LulzSec.[4] The website of alleged LulzSec member, JoePie91, was defaced by TeaMp0isoN members TriCk and iN^SaNe [5]

BlackBerry

During 2011 England riots it was believed that BlackBerry Messenger service was used by looters for collaboration. The group defaced the official BlackBerry blog as a response to Research In Motion (RIM), the maker of the BlackBerry, promising to co-operate with the UK police and government. TeaMp0isoN's statement said: "We are all for the rioters that are engaging in attacks on the police and government."[6]

Government Leaks

On 8 August 2011, TeaMp0isoN released the hashed administrator passwords for a website hosted under NASA domain, after using a vBulletin SQL injection vulnerability.[7]

Operation Robin Hood

In response to to support Occupy Movement, an online announcement claims that TeaMp0isoN joined Anonymous to launch Operation Robin Hood, intending to hack into websites, obtain credit cards and make donations to activist organizations while the banks would have to refund the hacked accounts.[8][9] The video states: "Operation Robin Hood will take credit cards and donate to the 99% as well as various charities around the globe. The banks will be forced to reimburse the people their money back." while encouraging to "move your accounts into secure credit unions,[8] in an echo to the Bank Transfer Day movement.

United Nations

In November 2011, TeaMp0isoN released more than 100 usernames and login details, which they say were obtained from the United Nations Development Program. According to a spokeswoman for the UNDP the data was extracted from "an old server which contains old data".[10]
