Wanted: Computer hackers to help government

Wanted: Computer hackers.

Federal authorities aren't looking to prosecute them, but to pay them to secure the nation's networks.

General Dynamics Information Technology put out an ad last month on behalf of the Homeland Security Department seeking someone who could "think like the bad guy." Applicants, it said, must understand hackers' tools and tactics and be able to analyze Internet traffic and identify vulnerabilities in the federal systems.

Hellsvacancy6234d ago

Of course hackers get laid y would they not, there hackin banks and bussiness and tings like that so there bound 2 hav moneys

Snatcher6234d ago

Till they get thrown in the f*cking jail.

News4fanboys6234d ago

at least they got laid before lol.
i wouldnt want to go to jail a virgin for goodness sake man.

UltimateIdiot9116234d ago

Nope, some do it to prove a point such as flaws in US securities.

InfectedDK6234d ago

That's called logic?
But I've heard this before.
Some guy got out of jail, had been in jail for hacking and outside the jail som major company hired him straight away. Was it Microsoft? Can't remember.

Dark_Vendetta6234d ago

Even ebay did that. They payed the hackers money if they found a hole in the system. And MS is still doing it (for Vista).

micro_invader6234d ago (Edited 6234d ago )

Don't they have a term for hackers who do that kind of job? I believe it's something like white-hat hackers?

Edit: Sangria got there before me.

Hired by the NSA. He's getting 7 digit salaries. No joke. He ended up getting his Ph.D. at the age of 24, and minoring in like 4 different fields. Smartest motherf*cker I've ever known.

Oh, and while he was in highschool he developed the first computer/network system for MSD Wayne Township in Indiana. It is now one of the highest security school networks in Indiana.

mirroredderorrim6234d ago

Ugh.. hacking is going to be carrying some stiff penalties, especially when the laws are rolled out pertaining to them.

I can see our idiot government tie in treason with many of the hacking-related crimes.

Major_Tom6234d ago

You have to remember the resources available now a days are exactly the same kind of resources that are available to consumers and every day hackers. It's getting harder and harder to find hackers so I wouldn't think the crime rate would go up.

Sangria6234d ago

So they're just searching for white hats. Many companies use hackers to enhance their security system, even if i don't know how much big can be a hack threat in White House, it's still fine to see governments counting on technologies and wanting to develop them.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing14d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit14d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing14d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
