  • aise hacker ko JOB OFFER Q nahi karte, wo hamare bohat kaam a sakte hai dusre mulk ka ya person ka data lene main

      • Search for senior-most FBI agent Frank Abagnale (catch me if you can movie is made on him). He was a criminal who was later hired by FBI to help solve crimes. Grow up Zahid.

  • Exactly.we should use this hacking talent, government should give them chance to help solve difficult, critical and criminal issues.
    Hacking is not easy if someone has this talent then he or she should be in good positions to help government organisations.

    Mr zahid has typical thinking of just punishment.. he is also correct,if someone has done some thing wrong with anybody,then he should be in court of justice. But after punishment their talents should be used for good deeds.
