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?

    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".
