Dutch Police put prevention first with young hackers
Hacking’s adrenaline rush can be addictive. But many believe black-hat (illegal) hackers can develop a moral compass and learn to use their skills for good – especially if authorities intervene when they’re young.
Netherlands’ National Police Corps focus on preventing cybercrime. Their unique programs RE_B00tCMP (Reboot Camp) and HACK_Right aim to redirect young hackers in a positive direction. Hacker GhostExodus, imprisoned for 11 years thanks to his illegal hacking activity as a young person, also shares his redemption story.
