Cyber Security Challenge UK runs a series of online games that allow amateur cybersleuths and white-hat hackers to test their skills. Those who score well online are invited to a series of regional, in-person competitions. The top performers at these events are then invited to the annual three-day masterclass and team-based competition where they face a realistic scenario created by experts from the sponsoring companies.

Would you like to play a game?

    The 0.1% are exploiting you to get richer and more powerful. How does that feel to you? Do you think the "companies" in the article are poor, like below the poverty line?

    Punish the exploiters when you can. Humanity will shed no tears.

      It is a problem with the structure of society. Causing destruction with no purpose other than to hurt people is not a good way to bring about change. Possibly revolution will be needed, but hacking some website and/or stealing data and selling it off is more likely to hurt your fellow serfs instead of the douches with golden parachutes. I find your attitude immature and useless.

      Plus, a massive number of businesses do not fall under the top 0.1%, so again unless you have some structure and purpose you're just the digital equivalent of a teen vandalizing a school to get back at "the man".
