- Red Hat: Government-Hired Hackers
Red hat hackers are hired by government agencies to spot vulnerabilities in security systems, with a specific focus on finding and disarming black hat hackers. They’re known to be particularly ruthless in their hunt for black hat criminals, and typically use any means possible to take them down. This often looks like using the same tactics as black hat hackers and using them against them—using the same malware, viruses and other strategies to compromise their machines from the inside out.
