From these hacked systems hackers of AnonSec designed a map of NASA network and they used this map for further activities.

AnonSec posted on Pastebin,” Our main purpose behind this hack was to bring awareness about the reality of Cloudseeding/chemtrails/Geoengineering. There are many missions organised by NASA, which are related to study of Aerosols and the effect of Aerosols on environment and weather. Thats why we tareget their systems.” The hackers of AnonSec said that agencies of United State are spreading and distributing heavy metals and chemicals in environment. Agencies of US are saying that it is necessary for the control of weather and to reduce global warming, but they are not telling that these metals and chemicals are very dangerous for human health.
