Money is an important motivator, but these arrangements also work because they give an outlet to hackers who get most of their thrills from finding weaknesses instead of exploiting them.
“When all the pieces finally come together, that is the best feeling in the world,” he said. “Knowing that you have just cracked the biggest corporations.” Imagine a venue where concert tickets are on sale for $250 and $500. A hacker might try to order two of the former and negative one of the latter, hoping to be charged zero. This is the sort of scam a human can easily suss out. A computer can sell many more tickets, but is not blessed with that intuition; it’s “just a clever calculator,” De Ceukelaire said. Prohibited actions have to be explicitly ruled out, and hackers are on the lookout for oversights.

Workers rushed to inspect them and patch the vulnerability wherever it appeared.

China accuses U.S. of attacking companies after export curbsChina accused Washington on Friday of improperly attacking Chinese companies after genetics analysis giant BGI Group and 17 others were hit with curbs on access to U.S. technology on security or human rights grounds. China has a lot of nerve accusing anyone of an attack. China attacked the entire world with the COVID 19 virus. There will be repercussions, China. All the Communist Chinese do is steal technology.
