w00w00 (pronounced whoo-whoo) was a computer security
think tank founded in 1996 and active until the early 2000s.[1][2][unreliable source?] Although this group was not well known outside
Information security circles, its participants have spawned more than a dozen IT companies, including
WhatsApp and
Napster.[3][4]
Participants
The group at one point included over 30 active participants and spanned 12 countries on five continents.[1][3][5]
The following is a list of some of w00w00's participants:
