Cyberwarrior Shortage Threatens US Security 394
An anonymous reader writes "US security officials say the country's cyberdefenses are not up to the challenge. In part, it's due to a severe shortage of computer security specialists and engineers with the skills and knowledge necessary to do battle against would-be adversaries. The protection of US computer systems essentially requires an army of cyberwarriors, but the recruitment of that force is suffering. 'We don't have sufficiently bright people moving into this field to support those national security objectives as we move forward in time,' says James Gosler, a veteran cybersecurity specialist who has worked at the CIA, the National Security Agency, and the Energy Department."

if there is such a shortage of talent maybe we can offshore this responsibility? Maybe to China? As a bonus it will be less expensive.

all y'all have to do is setup a few sub sub basements with a few racks and fridges and then move anybody that can
hack the doors into the group (of course filter for the obvious "problems").
a few hints
1 most good hackers will have some sort of criminal record
2 hackers may or may not like a normal uniform and the hair thing may be an issue
3 when you have a group setup DO NOT VISIT DO NOT ASK "HOW" (plausible deneyability is a good thing)
4 psych evals may be another issue
