Feds Need Computer Hackers' Help

Interesting that the federal government is looking for hackers to help secure the nation’s computers. David Powner, director of technology issues for the Government Accountability Office, told Congress last month that the U.S. has no recovery plan for a digital disaster saying "We're clearly not as prepared as we should be" .

Every day there are millions of digital scans and attacks each day on the government’s networks.

Even General Dynamics put an ad out for Homeland Security to find those who could “think like the bad guy”. They want applicants who understand hackers' tools and tactics and be able to analyze Internet traffic and identify vulnerabilities in the federal systems.

So all you hackers and computer geniuses out there have a chance to play the role of the "good guy", depending on how you feel about the government.
