Singapore Looking For Best Computer Hacker

[method77]

Singapore is planning on holding a contest to find the country's best tech-savvy computer hacker. Six pairs of people will compete in "BlackOPS: HackAttack Challlenge 2004" sponsored by the government-funded National Infocomm Competency Center.

The center said the teams "will penetrate, exploit, gain access, and obtain privileged information from the other teams' servers, for the purpose of corporate espionage". In addition, the teams will have to defend against other team's hacking also.

Yvonne Choo, marketing manager of the National Infocomm Competency Center, hopes this contest would help find ways to prevent real computer attacks. The winners will receive a DVD burner and free computer classes.
