Cicada 3301 is a name given to an enigmatic organization that on three occasions has posted a set of complex puzzles to recruit capable cryptanalysts from the public. The first Internet puzzle started on January 5, 2012, and ran for approximately one month. A second round began one year later on January 5, 2013, and a third round is ongoing following confirmation of a fresh clue posted on Twitter on January 5, 2014. The stated intent was to recruit "intelligent individuals" by presenting a series of puzzles which were to be solved, each in order, to find the next. No new puzzles were published on January 5, 2015. The puzzles focused heavily on data security, cryptography. It has been called "the most elaborate and mysterious puzzle of the internet age" and is listed as one of the "Top 5 eeriest, unsolved mysteries of the Internet" by The Washington Post, and much speculation exists as to its purpose. Many have speculated that it is a recruitment tool for the NSA, CIA, MI6, or a cyber mercenary group. Others have claimed it is an Alternate Reality Game (ARG), but the fact that no company or individual has taken credit or tried to monetize it, combined with the fact that none who have solved the puzzles have ever come forward, has led most to feel that it is not. Others have claimed it is run by a bank working on cryptocurrency. (feel free to Google and learn more from them, Cicada 3301 certainly got my attention..) P.S. Thanks Wikipedia

The illuminati was a real organisation but they were called the stonemasons and based on unlocking the secrets of the emerald tablet.
