Referring to hackers, many people often think of a team of hackers looking for vulnerabilities to take advantage of and make illegal money. This is not wrong, but not entirely correct. In addition to black hat hackers (the concept is similar to those described above), there are also white-hat hackers.

White-hat hackers have the same experience and expertise as black-hat hackers, but instead of trying to attack the system, they spend time researching, preventing, preventing and reporting bugs to owners. system of security flaws before it is exploited by bad guys.

To honor the contributions of the white hat hackers, Facebook recently named 131 typical white hat of this year. In which, it is worth noting that there are 7 Vietnamese people including:

– Dau Huy Ngoc (ranked 12/131)

– Hoang Thanh (31/131)

– Nguyen Thi My Duyen (45/131)

– Hoang Lam (92/131)

– Duc Chung (111/131)

– Pham Tien Dat (115/131)

– COME HERE (120/131)

This is not the first time that Vietnamese white hat hackers have been honored by Facebook. Before that in 2018 and 2019, there were also 4 “Internet giants” from Vietnam named.

Currently, when cyberspace is having more and more influences and impacts on people’s lives. The battle between white hat and black hat hackers is fierce than ever. Big tech companies are also trying to offer white hat hackers. Outside hackers may be more experienced, more creative, and find niches that the company’s employees cannot see.
