A group of hackers Teampoison

A group of hackers who have identified themselves as 'Teampoison' have posted more than 100 email addresses and login details that they claim to have extracted from a United Nations database.
Many of the released emails appear to belong to members of the United Nations Development Programme, (UNDP). The details were posted on the website Pastebin under the Teampoison logo.

"Please note that UNDP.org was not compromised."

Well, I say help, but really I just held tools for Sphero founder Adam Wilson while he did all the work. Since Sphero robots are sealed within their ...
