MENAFN - 18/06/2006 (MENAFN) The University of Abertay unveiled plans to offer Britain's first degree course in computer hacking, The Sunday Times reported. The university will run the country's only government-accredited "ethical hacker" course. The new course will help students learn how to crack the most sophisticated security systems with the aim of advising organizations how to protect their networks. With hacking now accounting for £10 billion of damage to British firms each year and posing a potential terrorism threat, the course works on the premise that it takes a thief to catch a thief.
