Web Security Review

The US government may be hardening it’s stance against the growing threat from cyber-attacks and guess what they did to make it known? They got a hacker to provide them with an insight to act as adviser to the government, a move that would surely get him on every cyber-hit man’s roster or possible targets. They say he’s only on as an adviser but for the world of Black Hats, this is seen a s treachery, a move that counters all beliefs on which they function, to deny his own people. “Dark Tangent” as he was known during his hacking days, was hired by the new and fortified Cyber-Security command which is to try and bolster the ability of the US government to fend of attacks hopefully armed with his insight on how they work.
Hiring hackers or black-hats as they are more commonly called is nothing new, who do you think catches and creates anti-virus programs but hackers themselves for they know what methods are used and they also know how best to counter their moves if and when they do attack. These people are sworn to secrecy as to their abilities and with the extent at which they operate, but this normally means they are out of the hacking business, turned into “white hats”, they now try to defend the rest of us against attack that never seems to end in this world of the internet.
