Symptoms of RSD. RSD usually affects one of the extremities (arm, leg, hand, or foot). The primary symptom of RSD is intense, continuous pain. Pain can spread to a wider area (i.e. from finger to entire arm) and can spread to the opposite extremity (i.e., from left arm to right arm). Emotional stress can cause symptoms to worsen.
LONG WAIT FOR CLEARANCES. Even if federal officials can persuade hackers to work for the government, there can be roadblocks to acquiring a security clearance. Many people with the necessary cyber skills are not U.S. citizens and therefore do not qualify for security clearance, according to experts.ven so, both the government and contractors have hired numerous hackers over the years. Jonathan Ripshy Duncan, 23, said he once worked in cybersecurity for a government contractor, but would only do so again if given more freedom. My job task was the exact same thing every day, Duncan said at DefCon.
In a recent survey (download PDF) of 583 U.S companies conducted by Ponemon Research on behalf of Juniper Networks, 90% of the respondents said their organizations' computers had been breached at least once by hackers over the past 12 months. Nearly 60% reported two or more breaches over the past year. More than 50% said they had little confidence of being able to stave off further attacks over the next 12 months. Those numbers are significantly higher than findings in similar surveys, and they suggest that a growing number of enterprises are losing the battle to keep malicious intruders out of their networks.
