After-School Hacking Special

Posted by timothy on from the al-pacino-will-recruit-you dept.

securitas writes "The NY Times writes about an after-school program that teaches teenagers how to hack, attack and defend systems. There doesn't seem to have been the same uproar as the virus-creation course at the University of Calgary (see previous Slashdot thread), even though the participants in Tiger Team (the name of the program) are younger than the university students."

    And now the story is being spread as true!
