Do you think the "Hack The Pentagon" program is a good idea, or a disaster waiting to happen?2016-03-31T17:14:59-04:00PO3 Steven Sherrill1419616<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a target="_blank" href="https://threatpost.com/hack-the-pentagon-trial-program-registration-open/117119/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=linkedin+company+page">https://threatpost.com/hack-the-pentagon-trial-program-registration-open/117119/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=linkedin+company+page</a><br /><br />I agree with the principle of using hackers to test security, but I am kinda concerned that this is going to end disastrously for the DOD, What do you think RPers? <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">

Do you think the "Hack The Pentagon" program is a good idea, or a disaster waiting to happen?2016-03-31T17:14:59-04:002016-03-31T17:14:59-04:00PO1 William "Chip" Nagel1419623<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Definitely Inherit Risk. Fact everyone is constantly trying anyway. It is the ultimate challenge for a Hacker. If the NSA Part of the DOD is doing their Job, It should be fairly hard. I appreciate the concept as a Means to recruit Hackers also.

You would need to make sure the people doing it are truly folks doing to help you not to hurt you later.Response by LTC Paul Labrador made Mar 31 at 2016 6:40 PM2016-03-31T18:40:35-04:002016-03-31T18:40:35-04:00Maj John Bell1420114<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have wondered if it isn't time to start a 6th "armed service". I think we need the skilled hackers, but they need to be on our payroll.Response by Maj John Bell made Mar 31 at 2016 9:21 PM2016-03-31T21:21:42-04:002016-03-31T21:21:42-04:002016-03-31T17:14:59-04:00
