Hacking for US...

Its high time that pentagon has concentrated on its cyber warfare. This time it bigger and better. US have allocated 10 billion dollars for cyber warfare weapons development to prevent hacking in its internet space. But they say this is only a fraction of the sum it allots for the military and is expected to increase in coming years.

Companies like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics which are the major contractors for with the military and intelligence are having their share of this 10 billion. In this recession period, these are the only companies seeing opportunity and hiring people. At a Raytheon facility south of Kennedy Space Center, it's getting hotter with huge cash prizes for those who develop tools to protect the pentagon's computers. These military contractors are now in an enviable position for protecting pentagon's data for some lucrative money.

Companies like Raytheon are in a hunt for talented ones. A young college dropout Dustin, has recently received an offer from Raytheon after he has won two major hacking contests. And the list goes on. With cyber warfare getting better and better due to the inevitable fact that computers and internet has now become an integral part of US military system, people are now changing careers.
