The National Security Agency Challenges Hackers

The National Security Agency has a challenge for hackers who think they're hot stuff: prove it by working on the "hardest problems on Earth." Reuters reports that officials with DOD, DHS, NASA and NSA are heading to Las Vegas this week for Defcon, an annual hacker convention that is expected to draw 10,000 attendees. NSA said it's hiring about 1,500 people this fiscal year and another 1,500 next year, most of them cyber experts.
