"I have no problem hiring people who used to be hackers."
?

used to be? Bruce doesn?t state much about hiring people that are currently hackers?

We all pretty much know that (computer) hackers maintain the pressure of progress, evolution and ingenuity. We would be in the dark ages if it were not for those that have the hardwiring to traverse outside of the matrix at will. Instead of thanks, hackers have been publicly transformed into the ?bad guys? thanks to hollywood and journalists using buzz words. Such conflict has caused some ?natural born hackers? to ignore their gifts and stagnate with the rest of the crowd. Others live in the guise of security. Unfortunately such separation has caused a flourishing generation of those that wish to be on the ?dark-side? portraying what they see in the movies and hear in the press. This has led to an ongoing war that most likely will never end.

Companies are in dire need of computer hackers, most of them just don?t like to admit it. Little does the public know that some of the best hackers out there are protecting them from harm 24/7.
