It's a little crazy how many jobs are opening up for cyber security. It totally makes sense but still the fact that they are making it public knowledge that they need cyber security professionals tells the world, we're too weak to handle what we've got, and we need some more people working on this. It's as if they are telling people, "We've got a lot of stuff that we need protected and we can't do it." So if you're a cyber attacker now's you chance to go get you some secret information, and after you've stolen that secret information, and sold it for whatever secret information is going for now-a-days you can probably go tell them that you hacked their system, and they need you in order to keep their stuff safe.

Too bad I'm not a cyber attacker, because otherwise I would follow your plan: get money from stealing and selling information and then get the people that you hacked to give you a job. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHackers can become incredibly famous, but unfortunately most famous hackers remain anonymous to avoid prison. There's a chance your plan could result in a jail sentence.
