While the former two have blurbs that briefly give a run-down of what they did and the like, the last of those three doesn't seem to have anything other than a note that it's a criminal organization. I'm assuming these organizations were never brought up outside of 1.0... But is there any more information available about them? Particularly about the Zer'maat Five? (Or the alternative: is Gamer Escape pulling my leg here and these organizations never actually existed? I would be sad if that was the case... I loved stuff like the Alacran's role in the GLD quests.)
While I unfortunately cannot answer the actual lore questions, I can vouch for Gamer Escape having their lore down. They do a lot of fact-checking and some of their pages are things ripped from the client or official media. It could have also been a page they lost when their database got ransomeware-encrypted.
