Gov't working with hackers; moves to boost cyber security
According to minister of state in the Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining Julian Robinson, the renegade step is beneficial.
"It's quite legitimate to get somebody and say go and test what I have put together (website) and see where the loopholes are so I can build a defence against it. That is commonplace in the private sector and that's not an issue, you just have to hope that the ethical hackers remain ethical," he noted.
"There are some that we are in touch with, a group of youngsters who have done some good work in identifying Government agencies that have been the subject of attack and have actually come to us and said "this has been done" even before some of the agencies know," Robinson told reporters and editors at the weekly Jamaica Observer Monday Exchange at the newspaper's Beechwood Avenue head office in St Andrew yesterday.
He, however, noted that not all hackers who regarded themselves as "ethical" have pure motives.
