Editor's Note: If, rather when there are Cyber-Attacks on Western targets, the blame will be laid at the feet of Iran, Russia, China or some other nation. But given the fact that the most tech savvy people in the world work for Western governments, primarily the US and the UK, the real culprits may be found much closer to home!

British government is hiring talented Xbox generation teenage gamers to form the backbone of country’s future cyber security service. Higher education is not necessary: apprentices will get advanced resident cyber warfare training.
Speaking at Britain's WWII code-breaking headquarters at Bletchley Park on Thursday, Foreign Secretary William Hague announced the recruitment of 100 young talents for the Single Intelligence Account governmental cyber security program “to ensure that Britain remains a world leader in cyber security and a pre-eminent safe space for e-commerce and intellectual property online."
“It will be the young innovators of this generation who will help keep our country safe in years to come,” Hague said, recalling the efforts of young British scientists who cracked the "unbreakable" Nazi Enigma code at the Bletchley Park facility during the WWII.
