Not a Voyager fan?
The Hansens may have had access to information from the El Aurian refugees.
Or did Q throw a temper tantrum and reveal humanity to the Borg?
And/or Section 31.
That said, I'm of the mind that what we're seeing is a closed loop, a predestination paradox. Meaning: There was never a timeline in which the Borg did not travel back in time (as shown in ST:FC), because it was always supposed to happen - it always DID happen. So therefore, the Borg always crash landed on Earth (Regeneration), they always sent out a distress signal (same ep), which the 24th-century Borg picked up on and thus set course for Earth (Q Who), which caused the Borg conflicts we're all familiar with, which caused the Borg sphere to crash land on Earth...
And yes, I also firmly believe that ST:FC itself is a paradox. The Ent-E crew always were part of 21st-century history, and Riker and LaForge were always part of Cochrane's crew on the Phoenix. You can't prove any of this ISN'T the case, anyway.
Q didn't do that out of spite or anger. He did it because he genuinely believed Starfleet had grown complacent and thus needed to be given a kick in the pants, as it were.
If the Enterprise hadn't been flung into Borg territory, the Federation would have been completely unprepared for the inevitable arrival of the Borg, and would probably have been wiped out.
The information among the Borg doesn't circulate very fast. Hugh didn't know that Picard was no longer Locutus even though his escape happened years before. So maybe some Borg know things that others ignore...
Then they told Cochrane to use fake names for his crew... which nobody ever checked, and there never were any pictures - unless he made two random people fake heroes by letting them pose as his crewmates XDAnd yes, I also firmly believe that ST:FC itself is a paradox.

That was exactly why he did it. First he offered to join the Enterprise crew, when Picard rejected that offer, Q sent them in the path of the Borg cube as punishment.Q didn't do that out of spite or anger.
We are the Canadian Borg. Your assimilation is very important. Please stay on the line and wait for the next available assimilation agent, as your assimilation will be accomplished quicker than if you hang up and dial again.We are the Canadian Borg.
