Organizers say the competition is aimed at identifying young people with exceptional computer skills and inspiring them to join the country's woefully understaffed ranks of cybersecurity specialists needed to protect systems used by the military, industry and everyday people.

A national talent search for hackers? Or a search for really dumb criminals? You know, the sort who get a phone call and are told they've just won a free TV, "come on down and pick it up."
