Greek intelligence EYP is now hiring "hackers"

Through a notice, it is proceeding for the first time in 5 years to hire 110 employees, including 30 "hackers", in the context of shielding and strengthening the national security of our country.

The 30 cyberspace operators, the so-called hackers, will also be the spearhead of the national intelligence service, as cyber espionage has evolved in recent years.

Their role will be pivotal in terms of the digital security of the country's public administration infrastructure.
