Why is hacking such a big deal?
Cloud software has taken over the desktop meaning that just about everything you do on your computer, phone, tablet, and internet-connected juicer is susceptible to data theft. And that’s not even taking into account how readily people give out information in today’s world. For instance, have you ordered delivery online today? Well you probably had to sign up with your street address, meaning all it takes for someone to know where you live is exploiting the ironclad cyber defenses of Joe’s Discount Pizza And Pet Meds. Basically, the internet is in its Wild West phase and if we don’t get more “ethical hackers” to protect us from these cyber thieves, then we may all be screwed.
What do ethical hackers do?
Ethical hackers are a specific breed of information security professionals who primarily use a technique called penetration testing. And while “penetration testing” sounds like how an MIT grad would phrase a game of “just the tip,” it’s really a way to check for flaws in a computer system’s cyber security. We won’t get into too much more of the technical mumbo-jumbo, but just know that even a basic understanding of hacking will better prepare you to protect yourself. You can learn the fundamentals with online resources like this Certified White-Hat Hacker & Penetration Testing Course and then laugh at the suckers who try to jack your info.

Before they get to work on reforming the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Congress and the White House might want to take a closer look at the last time they tried it — a $16 billion fix called the Veterans Choice and Accountability Act of 2014, designed to get veterans medical care more quickly.
NPR and local member stations have been following that money, including the $10 billion for vets to get care outside the VA system. The Choice Act also channeled about $2.5 billion for hiring more doctors, nurses and other medical staff at VA medical centers.
The goal of the hiring money was to address a simple math problem. The number of veterans coming to the VA has shot up in recent years, and the number of medical staff has not kept pace. The idea was that more caregivers would cut wait times.
But an investigation by NPR and local member stations found that: the VA has about the same number of new hires as the VA would have been projected to hire without the additional $2.5 billion; the new hires weren’t sent to VA hospitals with the longest wait times; and the VA medical centers that got new hires were not more likely to see improved wait times.

Facts are Nazi oppression weapons.
A #background check can be as intensive as you like. We can check skills and education, talk with former employers and fellow workers, perform credit checks and criminal background checks. If the#position you are looking to fill meets certain safety requirements or if your worker is traveling into the USA, a drug test may be called for and with a special class of workers, it may even be necessary to have a polygraph done. If appropriate, we can help you design and administer sample work for the candidate to perform to measure skills. www.oeis.ca
