Tan Dailin
Biography: 

Tan Dailin a.k.a Wicked Rose is the founder of the Network Crack Program Hacker (NCPH) group, a Chinese hacker group based out of Zigong in Sichuan Province. In 2005, Wicked Rose was contracted by the Sichuan Military Command Communication Department which instructed him to participate in the Chengdu Military Command Network Attack/Defense Competition. After winning the local competition, he received a month of intense training in simulating attacks, designing hacking tools, and drafting network-infiltration strategies. He and his team represented the Sichuan Military Command in a competition with other provinces which they went on to win.

In 2007, Verisign’s iDefense released a report (PDF) on Rose’s hacking exploits, which detailed his alleged role as the leader of a state-sponsored, four-man hacking team called NCPH. Verisign said that the NCPH created 35 programs that took advantage of vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office to implant so-called Trojans--programs that take partial control of an infected computer and can be used to send documents, spreadsheets and other files over the Internet.

JF

Biography: 

JF is one of the core members of milw0rm(also called 1337Day.com), a group of hacktivists known for breaking in the systems of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Mumbai which is the primary nuclear research facility of India - this happened on June 3, 1998. JF went on to achieve a modicum of notoriety when MTV "hacked" its own website intentionally and graffitied the words "JF Was Here" across the page, at the same time that JF was under investigation for the milw0rm attacks by Scotland Yard. Hundreds of pages hosted on MTV.com sported the new JF logo, including one page that read, "JF was here, greets to milw0rm". MTV later confirmed that the alleged JF "hack" was a publicity stunt to promote the appearance of a commentator named Johnny Fame at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. Many were puzzled by the apparent hack committed by JF since the hacker was "known for relatively high ethical standards."
