Subj: SIS hacking into our computers

I was reading this and what came to my mind was who exactly
are they going to get to teach them how to do this?
It isn't always as easy as 1 2 3, if someone wants to keep
their data secret they are going to have firewalls on their
computer. Will they be incorporating the services of the
people they have caught hacking or will an computer
security company be able to tell them how to get around the
likes of BlackICE, Zone Alarm etc etc who a lot of people
are using due to them being easily available.
If they do use the services of a convicted hacker will they
be encouraging the hacking youth to hack more, to help the
government (which many of them dispise) or to come clean
and start working legally in maybe a computer security
company to help companies defend themselves...

Well thats my two cents
