Only YOU can Prevent Hacking

Posted by Kara Reeder Apr 15, 2008 9:23:22 AM

"Ethical hacker?" Is that an oxymoron?

 

LIGATT Security is providing a self-study guide to becoming a Certified Ethical Hacker, according to this marketwire press release.

 

That's right, for the low price of $150, you can download the "Ethical Hacker Kit" and be well on your way to ensuring the security of your network. You can also earn upwards of $12,000 per contract and possibly gross around around $60,000 per month. Wow. Who knew hacking could be so lucratived?

 

If you're wondering what makes a hacker "ethical," this article offers some clarification: It is one who is "usually employed with the organization and who can be trusted ..." Usually? Anyway, yes, hacking is illegal in the U.S., but not when done at the request of an organization.

 

LIGATT's hackers are here to do good. Remember they are ethical. LIGATT offers investigation services for victims of a Cyber Bully or Cyber Stalker. A complete background check package is offered for only $75.
