A Bachelor's Degree In Computer Hacking

Abertay University in Dundee, England, is offering the country's first degree in computer hacking, the Daily Record reported. Classes in the major will teach students how to find out passwords and log-in information, and how to shut down computer systems; the aim is to produce hackers that could work for the government against computer criminals. However, even teachers in the discipline say teaching criminal activities could produce more criminals.

@Hannibal : c'est bizarre quand même... si ces gens décident de ne pas travailler pour un gouvernement, ils vont travailler pour qui ?
Et pendant leur pause déjeuner, leur week end et leurs vacances, ils pourront aussi pirater pour "garder la main"...
Ce n'est pas à une université de former ce genre de personne, c'est à des services de police, des services militaires ou des services secrets de former en interne leur personnel à ce genre de procédés. Il me semble en tout cas...
